Victorian Doubt

So today I was reading about the Victorian Era for English class, and I came across a phrase that really struck a chord with me "The Doubt of Religion." Basically, what this means is that this was the first time people in the western world really started to doubt the veracity of religion (in this case, it was mostly Christianity). And I couldn't help but think to myself one of my favorite quotes from Religilous where it's host, Bill Maher, drops this chestnut: "doubt is humble, and that's what human beings need to be." Man, Religilous is such a great movie. You should watch it if you haven't already.
