About This Quote
Religion is a light bulb, created by man to help him to see in the dark. The metaphor of religion as a light bulb is particularly popular in the United States, where people often speak of religion as “the light on the hill,” or “a beacon of hope.” For some people, religion is more than just a source of hope; it is the only thing that matters. A light bulb helps us see in the dark. It helps us navigate our way through life by providing us with guidance and security.
It helps us make sense of our lives and of our place in the world. Religion helps us to see in the dark by providing us with answers to questions we did not even know we had.
