Indeed they have; the above extract is the truth and nothing but the truth. May I amend it to bring it somewhat nearer to the whole truth?

Insert after 'died' the words "and burned and tortured and generally persecuted" and to delete 'faith' and substitute "faiths".

My amended version indicates, intellectually and I hope reasonably, why I have no faith in faith. Indeed I regard faith as a divisive addiction to which people, afraid to doubt, are ever subject.
