Different faiths Quote by Ray Bennett
““Religion is too often the pretext for war, hatred, intolerance among different faiths, and competitive piety within faiths. But the problem isn’t with faith, or even with difference in faith, within the churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques. The problem is the overachievers in those institutions.””
