It is not all about beliefs. It is also about totalitarianism in which the state monoploizes power. Pluralism which distributes power among competing institutions is a good defense.

When I see what a thin book Christopher Hitchens has written to assert that God is not great, it immediately suggests how ignorant he is. I compare it to the miles of book shelves in the Catholic University library where I went to grad school. There you could find the thoughts of wise men from the ages who had pondered many things in great detail and is a repository of knowledge.
