Men inhale their beliefs

“Men inhale their beliefs from the atmosphere which happens to surround them. This is true in every department of thought, e.g., politics, art, religion. Were Christians asked to-day for the reasons of their belief the many (should they answer truly) could only reply, “We inhaled it.” They did not reach it by thorough, independent, untrammeled investigation.” - E. NISBET Rock Island , Ill. , June 17th, 1876
