Locked within a horizon so narrow - if that is not the very definition of most if not all religious-based mindsets. His statement could be easily re-wroded to read: "When Sunday loses its fundamental meaning and becomes subordinate to a secular concept of 'weekend' dominated by such things as religious practices, people stay locked within a horizon so narrow that they can no longer see the heavens."

I guess Freedom of Thought is only for the rich and powerful. The rest of us are expected to be un-educated and obedient to the Religious leaders, Political Leaders, and Mass Marketers. Our existence will be limited to working, to paying taxes, and watching mindless entertainment until we die. The wonderful outdoors, the "Heavens" will belong to those who can afford the permits, who can afford to get away from civilization.

They could at least legalize drugs...
