Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.

Religion

Religion is like the Fashion: one Man wears his Doublet slashed, another laced, another plain; but every Man has a Doublet. So every man has his Religion. We differ about Trimming.
—John Selden

Without a belief in personal immortality, religion is surely like an arch resting on one pillar, like a bridge ending in an abyss.
—Max Müller
