"Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise, every expanded prospect"
- James Madison
About this Quote
In this quote, James Madison is expressing his belief that faiths can limit and compromise the mind, preventing it from pursuing fantastic undertakings and welcoming brand-new opportunities. He sees religious chains as a type of mental jail time that hinders people from reaching their full capacity and checking out new ideas. Madison recommends that when the mind is bound by spiritual dogma, it ends up being shut off to new possibilities and unable to engage in ambitious pursuits. He argues that real flexibility of thought and action can just be achieved when the mind is free from the constraints of religious bondage.
