BOOK-1 CONCLUSION

 

Finally, may we be permitted to emphasise that the role of the Christian civilisation in the ages of faith being what has been recorded in the foregoing, the following judgment of Bertrand Russell, in his well-known book: Why I am not a Christian? (London, 1967), stands unchallenged for all time: 

 

“In the so-called ages of faith, when men really did believe the Christian religion in all its completeness, there was the Inquisition, with its tortures, there were millions of unfortunate women burnt as witches, and there was every kind of cruelty, practised upon all sorts of people in the name of religion. 

 

“You find as you look around the world that every single bit of progress in human feeling, every improvement in the criminal law, every step towards the diminution of war, every step towards better treatment of the coloured races, every mitigation of slavery, every moral progress that there has been in the world, has been consistently opposed by the organized Churches of the world. I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.” (p. 25).
