"As a practicing Jew," Putnam writes, "I am someone for whom the religious dimension of life has become increasingly important." He finds in religion "a sense of human limits," the converse of "the deification of man" rejected as humanism’s great falsity. This isn’t to say Putnam is uncritical of religion. His criticism, however, is informed by recognition of alternative deficiencies:
"The sense of the sacred is not necessarily a good thing; it can lead one to do terrible things. Of course for that very reason in the nineteenth century people said we should stop believing in the sacred, and then we won’t do terrible things any more. Then we had two very atheist dictators, called Stalin and Hitler, who between them killed even more people than anyone had killed in the name of the sacred." http://www.lewrockwell.com/kantor/kantor50.html
