There is no religion without mysteries. God Himself is the great secret of Nature.

Religion assures us that our afflictions shall have an end; she comforts us, she dries our tears, she promises us another life. On the contrary, in the abominable worship of atheism, human woes are the incense, death is the priest, a coffin the altar, and annihilation the Deity.

The Genius of Christianity (1802)
