About This Quote

The heart of their [Walsingham Witnesses] religion seemed to lie in disproving the religion of others. This quote is referring to the members of The Walsingham Society and their belief system. They believed that other religions were wrong and had a secret agenda to take over the world and destroy Christianity. To them, any other religion was a form of atheism or at least a religious form of atheism. Today we would call this group a cult.
