Sudden conversion ... is particularly attractive to the half-baked mind.

Mind, Atheism, Half

Every institution and vested interest in against such a search: organized religion, the state, the family in its economic aspect, have nothing to gain, and it is only when outward prohibitions weaken that it can proceed: history conditions it to that extent.
