Felix Adler, by HineIt is our hope, that men in proportion as they grow more enlightened, will learn to hold their theories and their creeds more loosely, and will none the less, nay, rather all the more be devoted to the supreme end of practical righteousness to which all theories and creeds must be kept subservient.

-- Felix Adler (1851-1933), American rationalist intellectual, The Religion of Duty (1905)
