About This Quote

A true believer is someone who doesn’t think too much about his or her faith. Instead, he or she just has a pure faith that’s based on intuition. A true believer is a person who believes without question. A fanatic, on the other hand, is someone who studies and learns everything he or she can about the subject of faith. Such a person starts to believe everything he or she hears and he or she becomes a religious zealot.
