“The Da Vinci Code” (post 3) by Dan Brown: Why Say This?

“Langdon smiled. ‘Sophie, every faith in the world is based on fabrication. That is the definition of faith—acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove. Every religion describes God through metaphor, allegory, and exaggeration…The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors’ ” (1, p. 448).

Comment: One of Dan Brown’s alternate personalities is agnostic.
