"Man’s freedom and man’s responsibility exist independently. But, in the last analysis, man cannot be responsible to himself alone. Behind his conscience stands an extra-human authority. Freud once said: “Man is not only often much more immoral than he believes, but also often much more moral than he thinks.” I should like to add that he is often much more religious than he suspects."
