Stig Dagerman

Stig Dagerman, born on October 5, 1923, was a prominent Swedish journalist. His career began in the 1940s, during which he was known for his sharp observations and profound insights. Dagerman's work covered a range of topics from society, politics, to culture, and his reports not only exposed social injustices but also reflected the complexity of human nature. Tragically, he died in a car accident on November 4, 1954, at the age of 31. more

“If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences. With such an honest and inflexible openness to evidence, they could not fail to receive any real truth which might be manifesting itself around them. The fact that religionists do not follow this honourable course, but cheat at their game by invoking juvenile quasi-hypnosis, is enough to destroy their pretensions in my eyes even if their absurdity were not manifest in every other direction.”
