Society and Christianity

The Note-Books of Samuel Butler · Samuel Butler

The burden of society is really a very light one.  She does not require us to believe the Christian religion, she has very vague ideas as to what the Christian religion is, much less does she require us to practise it.  She is quite satisfied if we do not obtrude our disbelief in it in an offensive manner.  Surely this is no very grievous burden.
