Mark Twain on Religion

by Robert Wilkinson

While perusing comments about the dispute between US nuns and the Vatican about the nuns' efforts to help the poor instead of demonize gays and whoever else the former head of the Inquisition feels should be persecuted, I came across 4 great quotes from Mark Twain about religion.
