To be of no church is dangerous. Religion, of which the rewards are distant and which is animated only by Faith and Hope, will glide by degrees out of the mind, unless it be invigorated and reimpressed by external ordinances, by stated calls to worship and the salutary influence of example. - Johnson.

The writers against religion, whilst they oppose every system, are wisely careful never to set up any of their own burke. A little philosophy inclineth a man's mind to atheism, but depth of philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion

Bacon.
