Masses are always breeding grounds of psychic epidemics.

Summary

The quote implies that these psychic epidemics can shape and influence the thoughts, attitudes, and actions of the masses, highlighting the potential power and impact of collective psychology on society.

The time must come inevitably when mankind shall surmount the imbecility of religion, as it has surmounted the imbecility of religion's ally, magic. It is impossible to imagine this world being really civilized so long as so much nonsense survives. In even its highest forms religion embraces concepts that run counter to all common sense.
