“[T]he Rev. R. Taylor, A.M., the Deist, now in gaol, infamously persecuted by the Whigs for his religious opinions, in his learned defense of Deism called the Diegesis, has clearly proved all the heirarchical institutions of the Christians to be a close copy of those of the Essenians of Egypt.” ChristianReligiousOpinionInstitutionsDefenseCopiesEgyptPersecutedDeismDeist Author:Godfrey Higgins
“If once in America the question of religious toleration was raised in defense of nonbelievers who dissented from religious orthodoxy, today it is raised by believers who feel excluded from a predominantly secular public world.” IfsWorldFeelsTodayChristianAmericaReligiousRaisedDefenseBelieverSecularOrthodoxyExcludedToleration Author:Alan Wolfe
“Freud, Jung thought, had been a great discoverer of facts about the mind, but far too inclined to leave the solid ground of "critical reason and common sense." Freud for his part criticized Jung for being gullible about occult phenomena and infatuated with Oriental religions; he viewed with sardonic and unmitigated skepticism Jung's defense of religious feelings as an integral element in mental health. For Freud, religion was a psychological need projected onto culture, the child's feeling of helplessness surviving in adults, to be analyzed rather than admired.” NeedsMindChildrenReasonFactsFeelingsCultureReligiousCommonElementsAdultsMental HealthCriticalDefenseCommon SensePsychologicalSkepticismSurvivingHelplessnessOccultJungGullibleInfatuatedSardonicPsychological Needs Author:Peter Gay
“Phil Cousineau has created a fine companion book to accompany the important film he and Gary Rhine have made in defense of the religious traditions of Native Americans. [Native Americans] are recognized the world over as keepers of a vital piece of the Creator's original orders, and yet they are regarded as little more than squatters at home. This book features impressive interviews, beautiful illustrations, and gives a voice to the voiceless.” WorldGivingLittlesMadeImportantBookHomeBeautifulFilmOrderVoiceReligiousPiecesFineTraditionOriginalsCreatorDefenseFeaturesInterviewsNativeCompanionNative AmericanImpressiveAccompanyKeepersIllustrationGaryVoicelessReligious TraditionsSquatters Author:Peter Coyote
