Millions of Christians can and do go through life attending church, listening to sermons, reciting the creeds and never confront the seeming contradictions, redaction and myths passed off as verifiable history.

More quotes by A. N. Wilson
I had lost faith in biography.
A. N. Wilson
In universities and intellectual circles, academics can guarantee themselves popularity - or, which is just as satisfying, unpopularity - by being opinionated rather than by being learned.
A. N. Wilson
I am shy to admit that I have followed the advice given all those years ago by a wise archbishop to a bewildered young man: that moments of unbelief 'don't matter,' that if you return to a practice of the faith, faith will return.
A. N. Wilson
We, while noting many things amiss about Victorian society, more often sense them judging us.
A. N. Wilson
I think that if you can't be loyal to the Church, it's best to get out.
A. N. Wilson
The fact that logic cannot satisfy us awakens an almost insatiable hunger for the irrational.
A. N. Wilson
As Hitler himself later enunciated, it matters not how idiotic the creed, what matters is the firmness with which it is enunciated.
A. N. Wilson
We cannot hope for a society in which formal organized religion dies out. But we can stop behaving as if it was worthy of our collective respect.
A. N. Wilson
It is remarkable how easily children and grown-ups adapt to living in a dictatorship organised by lunatics.

I think one of the very frightening things about the regime of the National Socialists is that it made people happy.
A. N. Wilson
It is the woman - nearly always - in spite of all the advances of modern feminism, who still takes responsibility for the bulk of the chores, as well as doing her paid job. This is true even in households where men try to be unselfish and to do their share.

Tennyson seems to be the patron saint of the wishy washies, which is perhaps why I admire him so much, not only as a poet, but as a man.
A. N. Wilson
In the past, I used to counter any such notions by asking myself: 'Would you really want President Hattersley?' I now find that possibility rather cheers me up. With his chubby, Dickensian features and his knowledge of T.H. Green and other harmless leftish political classics, Hattersley might not be such a bad thing after all.
A. N. Wilson
It is eerie being all but alone in Westminster Abbey. Without the tourists, there are only the dead, many of them kings and queens. They speak powerfully and put my thoughts into vivid perspective.
A. N. Wilson
I'm not saying all publishers have to be literary, but some interest in books would help.
A. N. Wilson
I believe the collapse of the House of Windsor is tied in with the collapse of the Church of England.
A. N. Wilson
We tell ourselves that God is dead, when what we mean is that God is Dad, and we wish him dead.
A. N. Wilson
The really clever people now want to be lawyers or journalists.
A. N. Wilson
Truth comes to us mediated by human love.

The latest research has revealed that women have a higher IQ than men.
