…religion must be the cause of fellowship and love. If it becomes the cause of estrangement then it is not needed, for religion is like a remedy; if it aggravates the disease then it becomes unnecessary.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Quoted by the Universal House of Justice in a letter dated 12 February 2018 written on its behalf to an individual believer; US Baha’i National Administrative website)
