"Two inches of snow on a dung heap can look pretty nice, but it doesn't address the deeper problem. So if we sinful men go left, we sin on the left. If we go right, we sin on the right. If we become atheists, we sin there. If we become Jehovah's Witnesses, we sin there there. Wherever we go, there we are. The generic category of 'religion' cannot help us in this anymore than the abstract concept of 'medicine' can help us when we are sick. We need actual medicine, not the idea of medicine. And this is why we need Christ, not religion" (Letter From a Christian Citizen, p. 104).
