Society and Christianity

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.
