| | What’s the Difference? A Comparison of the Faiths Men Live By |
 | | If this "religion without revelation," as Huxley calls it, can be said to have dogmas, the most important are its faith in the power of science to free Man from all the limitations that beset him, and the power of education to imbue him with high ideals, pure motivations, and self-discipline. |
 | | The principal dogma of Communist theology is "dialectic materialism." As expounded in the "sacred writings" of Karl Marx and V. Lenin, the dogma holds that the physical world of things which can be seen, felt, weighed, and measured is the only reality that exists. |
