"Parmi tous les hommes mauvais, les hommes mauvais religieux sont les pires."

C. S. Lewis

Simplified Meaning:

When people do bad things, it's already a problem. But when people who are supposed to be religious do bad things, it’s even worse. This is because religious people are often trusted and respected, so their bad actions can have a bigger impact on others. For example, if a leader of a community steals money, it hurts, but if a religious leader does the same, it feels like a betrayal because they’re expected to follow higher moral standards. Also, these religious bad men might use their faith to justify their bad actions, making it harder for people to see the truth. It’s important to be aware and question actions, even if they come from someone who appears moral or good.
