I think that A.A. Milne was an astute observer, especially of religion. His best known comment on the subject was recalled on his death:

Quote:
"The Old Testament is responsible for more atheism, agnosticism, disbelief - call it what you will - than any book ever written; it has emptied more churches than all the counter-attractions of cinema, motor bicycle and golf course."
