as in “No religion higher than the truth”

“Holiness, purity and charity are not the exclusive possessions of any church in the world. Every system has produced men and women of the most exalted character. In the face of this evidence, if anybody dreams of the exclusive survival of their own religion and the destruction of the others, I pity them from the bottom of my heart, and point out to them that upon the banner of every religion will soon be written, in spite of resistance: “Help and not Fight,” “Assimilation and not Destruction,” “Harmony and Peace, and not Dissension.””
~ Swami Vivekananda, @ the Parliament of Religions, Chicago, 1893.
