"The language of rights and liberties can not help but lead to godlessness and the subsequent deification of man which is the proclamation of nihilism."

Here is another excerpt from this lecture:

"Religion moreover is now understood as beliefs, personal convictions which can exist seperately from one's public loyalty to the state."
