A society’s sense of solidarity can be sustained only if all of its different spiritual groups recreate their sense of dedication to it: if Christians see it as central to their Christianity, if Muslims see it as central to their Islam, and if the various kinds of lay philosophies see it as central to their philosophies.
只有在各宗教团体都能重塑自身对虔诚的定义，并将其放在团结之上时，一个社会的团结意识才能够维持下去——基督教徒视之为基督教的核心，穆斯林视之为伊斯兰教的核心，其他各色宗教也都能将其视之为其教义的核心。
