About This Quote

Religious belief is without reason and without dignity, and its record is near-universally dreadful. This quote by Voltaire is a distaste for religion. He believes that religion has a bad track record. He goes on to explain that people who have faith in a god think that he does not care about their suffering because he doesn’t intervene in their life.

They have no knowledge of the possibility of life after death, or of Jesus returning to earth, or of angels or demons. Religious people are also more likely to be anti-intellectuals.
