Ian Mcewan Quotes:
Ocupation: Novelist
Life: b. June 21, 1948
Birthday: June 21
I'm not against religion in the sense that I feel I can't tolerate it, but I think written into the rubric of religion is the certainty of its own truth. And since there are 6,000 religions currently on the face of the earth, they can't all be right. And only the secular spirit can guarantee those freedoms and it's the secular spirit that they contest.
