GK Chesterton

“It is only by believing in God that we can ever criticize the Government. Once you abolish God, the Government becomes the God. That fact is written all across human history…. The truth is that Irreligion is the opium of the people. Wherever the people do not believe in something beyond the world, they will worship the world. But, above all, they will worship the strongest thing in the world.”
