Summary

This quote suggests that religion requires a rational foundation for its fundamental principles even more than scientific dogmas do. While science relies on evidence and empirical knowledge, religion serves a different purpose and must have a solid rational basis for its core beliefs. The quote implies that the importance of rationality is higher in religion due to its function of providing answers and guidance to moral and existential dilemmas, where logic and reason play a crucial role in establishing a strong foundation for religious beliefs.
