Any violence which does not spring from a spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain. It lacks the stability which can only rest in a fanatical outlook.

Nothing to do with Millard, but I thought you might like a bit of good news. Ok, it's in Britain, but even so.
"Organised religion is in near-terminal decline in Britain because parents have only a 50-50 chance of passing on belief to their offspring, a study claimed yesterday.
By contrast, parents without faith are successful in producing a new generation of non-believers, it said.
The report identified institutional religion as having a "half-life" of one generation, as children are only half as likely as their parents to say that it is important in their lives."
