,”The greater honesty in even the bitterest attacks on Christianity in the past lay in the fact that they left it reasonably clear what Christianity is. The danger with Hegel was that he changed Christianity — and by doing so got it to conform with his philosophy. It is characteristic of an age of reason in general not to let the task remain intact and say, No, but to change it and say, Yes, why bless me, we are in agreement. The hypocrisy of reason is infinitely insidious. That is why it is so difficult to catch sight of.”
