Jerome on Christianity

It is no fault of Christianity that a hypocrite falls into sin.

The vices of our teachers are not to be imitated, their virtues are.

The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.

Abraham Lincoln1809–1865

• Anti-Religion

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963“Is Theology Poetry?” (1945)

It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.
