About This Quote
This quote is a common saying describing the need for religious organizations to focus on the real world. If you are a member of a religion, you care about what happens in the world. You want to make sure all your members are happy with their beliefs and how they are being treated. If your religion doesn’t help people when they are in need, then it’s not doing its job right.
