Consider whether there exists anywhere in creation a
principle mightier in every sense than religion, or whether any conceivable
power is more pervasive than the various Divine Faiths, or whether any agency
can bring about real love and fellowship and union among all peoples as can
belief in an almighty and all-knowing God, or whether except for the laws of
God there has been any evidence of an instrumentality for educating all mankind
in every phase of righteousness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘The Secret of Divine Civilization’)
