"Adam Smith gave what is still the best description of the role of religion in an open society. Smith ... argued in The Wealth of Nations that religion, even fanatical religion, is necessary to the health and happiness of society, and that free competition among religions is the best way to achieve the benefits of religion at the lowest possible cost."
-Walter Russell Mead, as excerpted from God and Gold: Britain, American, and the Making of the Modern World
