Jacques Ellul Quote

The problem is not merely that of the transformation of Christianity into a state religion but of the diffusion of this faith that has stopped being a faith and has become a collective ideology, a kind of manifestation of thought that collects all the commonplaces, the legends, the miracles, the prophecies, the apocalypses, the thaumaturgies, and formulates for the people a facile, moralistic, and constructive set of beliefs.
