Message to the Indian Rationalist Association [1956]

I REGRET THE revival of Buddhism in the East and of Catholicism in the West. I also deeply deplore the increase of Communist Power by brutal and unscrupulous methods. I consider the action of the British and French Governments in Egypt both criminal and utterly foolish. I have stated this publicly as you will see from the enclosed communication to Reynolds News. There has never been a time in human history when the rationalist outlook was more needed to combat the rival fanaticisms which are threatening the world with disaster.
