I am not much of a Christian I must admit, but secularism has ever proved
itself a failure. All the tyrants of the 20th century were former
religionists who thought that their societies would be better off without
religion. Alas, they proved just the opposite of that. Religion, as bad as
it sometimes is, is about the only thing that saves us from ourselves.
