中世紀時代的基督教和現在的回教差別不大, 但歐洲的文藝復興, 和與之而來的科學和理性, 改造了當時歐洲社會和宗教, 使他們變的文明. 基督教之所以現在比回教像樣, 有兩個原因. 1. 基督教社會處於強勢. 2. 回教社會還沒有現代化.
重複Weinberg的幾句評論:
Rather, the eighteenth century had seen a widespread increase in rationality and humanitarianism that led others—for instance, Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham, and Richard Brinsley Sheridan—also to oppose slavery, on grounds having nothing to do with religion.
As far as I can tell, the moral tone of religion benefited more from the spirit of the times than the spirit of the times benefited from religion.
With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion.
