Faith is powerful enough to immunize people against all appeals to pity, to forgiveness, to decent human feelings. It even immunizes them against fear, if they honestly believe that a martyr's death will send them straight to heaven. What a weapon! Religious faith deserves a chapter to itself in the annals of war technology, on an even footing with the longbow, the warhorse, the tank, and the hydrogen bomb.

~ Richard Dawkins

Theologians.... failed to grasp the profound non-literal meaning of the Scriptures when they describe the physical structure of the universe. This led them unduly to transpose a question of factual observation into the realm of faith... (and) to a disciplinary measure from which Galileo 'had much to suffer'.

~ Cardinal Paul Poupard (uit 1992, als uitkomst van het onderzoek naar de beroemde rechtzaak van Galileo Galilei in 1633!)
