The last statement scares me:
"When it comes to the relationship between modern man and religious
faith, the century now beginning may prove make-up-your-mind time. I
hope so."
As a quiet agnostic in the US, surrounded by a resurgence of
Christianity in some of its' more frightening forms, I hope *not*. I
hope we will quietly go along with whatever uneasy truce we have
managed to work out, and not loose too much ground while Bush is
President.
The only good thing I have seen in this vein was Bush getting up in
front of the American public and defending Muslims. I really respect
him for doing that. I wonder what he had to tell his right-wing
Christian backers to smooth that particular one over.
