* "I myself believe that the duel between Christianity and atheism is the most important in the world. I further believe that the struggle between individualism and collectivism is the same struggle reproduced on another level." - [[William F. Buckley]], ''God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of ''"Academic Freedom"''<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=i4ErsUZal1cC&pg=PT47&dq=%22I+further+believe+that+the+struggle+between+individualism+and+collectivism+is+the%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CBwQ6AEwAGoVChMI0fbdlJyEyQIVwjwmCh2skggO#v=onepage&q=%22I%20further%20believe%20that%20the%20struggle%20between%20individualism%20and%20collectivism%20is%20the%22&f=false God and Man at Yale: The Superstitions of 'Academic Freedom'], by [[William F.

* "The god of modern thought exceedingly resembles the deities described in this psalm. Pantheism is wondrously akin to Polytheism, and yet differs very little from Atheism. The god manufactured by our great thinkers is a mere abstraction: he has no eternal purposes, he does not interpose on the behalf of his people, he cares but very little as to how much man sins, for he has given to the initiated "a larger hope" by which the most incorrigible are to be restored. He is what the last set of critics chooses to make him, he has said what they choose to say, and lie will do what they please to prescribe. Let this creed and its devotees alone, and they will work out their own refutation, for as now their god is fashioned like themselves, they will by degrees fashion themselves like their god; and when the principles of justice, law, and order shall have all been effectually sapped we may possibly witness in some form of socialism, similar to that which is so sadly spreading in Germany, a repetition of the evils which have in former ages befallen nations which have refused the living God, and set up gods of their own." - [[Charles Haddon Spurgeon]], ''The Treasury of David'', p. 267.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=vdFJAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA267 The Treasury of David: Containing an Original Exposition of the Book of Psalms], by C. H. Spurgeon, 1882</ref>
