Religion is necessary wherever there is a settled society. The laws take care of known crimes; religion watches secret crime. - Voltaire (A Treatise on Toleration Quotes)

Religion is necessary wherever there is a settled society. The laws take care of known crimes; religion watches secret crime.[Par-tout où il y a une société établie , une religion est nécessaire ; les lois veillent sur les crimes commis , et la religion sur les crimes secrets.]
