About This Quote
The faith is not the problem, Bernadette. The problem is the faithful. This quote from the movie “The Shawshank Redemption” is a great way to say that it’s not the faith that’s wrong, it’s those who have chosen to follow it. In this case, Shawshank Prison Warden, Mr.
Norton, has been tricked by a corrupt inmate and has been blinded by his own sense of loyalty. This quote is meant to say that those who believe in a religion or a god are not necessarily wrong or bad, but those who choose to follow something blindly are bad people.
