Best 4 quotes of Will Herberg on MyQuotes

America seems to be at once the most religious and the most secular of all nations.

Man is homo religiosus, by 'nature' religious: as much as he needs food to eat or air to breathe, he needs a faith for living.

Modern society has not rid itself of religion, as it fondly believes; it has merely replaced the historical religions by a host of idolatrous cults struggling for possession of the soul of man.

Ultimately all idolatry is worship of the self projected and objectified: all idolization is self-idolization.
