If one believes philosophers, then what we call religion is only a deliberately popularized or an instinctively artless philosophy. Poets seem to consider religion rather as a variation of poetry which by misjudging its proper beautiful game takes itself too seriously and one-sidedly.

Eternal peace among artists is thus not far away. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
