• Until the content of a belief is made clear, the appeal to accept the belief on faith is beside the point, for one would not know what one has accepted.

• I myself am not comfortable with the notion of secularists congregating in groups, except perhaps for defensive purposes: the last thing a secularist should wish to do is to act like a religion, with its rigid hierarchies, its suppression of divergent opinion, and, above all, its ruthless attempts (now mercifully inhibited by laws) to outlaw "heresy" by brute force. Opinions must be changed, one at a time if necessary, but if there are those who wish to persist in religious belief, they should certainly be allowed to do so.

• Tengo un amigo -o tenía un amigo, ya fallecido-, Abdus Salam, un musulmán muy devoto, que intentaba introducir la ciencia en las universidades de los países del Golfo y me contó que lo pasó muy mal porque, aunque eran muy receptivos a la tecnología, pensaban que la ciencia sería corrosiva para las creencias religiosas, y les preocupaba... y maldita sea, creo que tenían razón.
