In this world irrationality clings to man like his shadow . . . a world of religious institutions that have, in the main, come to support and justify the status quo so that today religion is materially solvent and spiritually bankrupt. We live with a Judaeo-Christian ethic that has not only accommodated itself to but justified slavery, war, and every other ugly human exploitation of whichever status quo happened to prevail.
