There is no going against facts.

The Jews lived only to await the coming of the true God and left the world the true God.

The Greeks deified nature and bequeathed the world their religion, that is, philosophy and art.

Rome deified the people in the State, and bequeathed the idea of the State to the nations.

France throughout her long history was only the incarnation and development of the Roman god, and if they have at last flung their Roman god into the abyss and plunged into atheism, which, for the time being, they call socialism, it is solely because socialism is, anyway, healthier than Roman Catholicism.
