Quote of the Day 2

I don't know, you wait for one quote of the day and then two come along on the same day:

"It's the constant arrogation of an overstated influence on life and society that secularists like myself oppose. There's no point in pussyfooting around. You believe something dreamed up by illiterate goatherds 2000 years ago and I've got to respect it? No is the answer, after 9/11."

"Religion can't carry on unconstrained, and the constraint must be, see yourself as you are, an unelected body with no greater rights than any other interest group such as trade unions or political parties. Have your say, but don't impose yourself on the rest of us."

A. C. Grayling
