God-botherers and Other True-believers : : Gandhi, Hitler, and the Religious Right / / F. G. Bailey.

520 | |a When reason fails to guide us in our everyday lives, we turn to faith, to religion; we close our minds; we reject austere reasoning. This rejection, which is a faith-based social and intellectual malignancy, has two unfortunate consequences: it blocks the way to knowledge that might enhance the quality of life and it opens the way to charlatans who exploit the faith of others.
