Imprudent fervour is the fault common to both belief and unbelief

 
One would fancy that infidels would be exempt from that single fault, which seems to grow out of the imprudent fervours of religion; but so it is, that infidelity is propagated with as much fierceness and contention, as if the safety of mankind depended upon it.

-- Joseph Addison's Spectator
