There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.

Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the old world, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival. There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour...

A worship that can be conducted by persons who refuse to give shelter to the houseless, to give bread to the hungry, clothing to the naked, and who enjoin obedience to a law forbidding these acts of mercy, is a curse, not a blessing to mankind. The Bible addresses all such persons as "scribes, pharisees, hypocrites, who pay tithe of mint, anise, and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgement, mercy and faith."

4. Could you guide me to...

where the priests are sawing the heads off of non-believers in the US? Lets us not ignore the atrocities of all religions committed in God's name.

That is why I have little faith in any religion and see all of them (though Islam and Christianity are the worst offenders) as nothing more than a way for the powerful to oppress the weak.

That would be like placing any faith at all in politicians.

5. I'm an athiest

but maybe Pat Robertson or Fallwell can help you. Maybe Ralph Reed can help if he's not busy playing golf.
Check the date of Douglass' speech.

7. If I have no faith in religion...

why would I have any faith in charlatans like Falwell or Robertson? I don't put any faith in any of them.
