hitler, a very religious man would disagree with that. it is true, the notion that logic itself is inherently moral if you follow the right course of events. how do you define the difference between religion and faith? >> well, religion obviously is a human construction. it is an organized institutional expression of what people believe and how they get together to do it. and faith is an individual commitment. the examples that are given to us in history like the example of thomas who you remember, would have been more blessed if he had believed without evidence

you can see that he is writing to adolf hitler.d of events seem to have reverted to the threat of arms. if such threats continue, it seems inevitable that much of the world must become involve in common ruin. all the world, victor nations, vanquished nation, and neutral nations will suffer. i refuse to believe that the world is, of necessity, such a prisoner of destiny. what he then did was propose to adolf hitler that he allow f.d.r. to facilitate discussions with over 30 threatened nations. and he asked hitler to promise not to invade those 30 nations. and of course, hitler in a famous speech then ridiculed roosevelt for such a proposal. what other documents do you want to show us? >> another document that's important is the extraordinary letter that albert einstein sent to f.d.r. in august of 1939. because of the outbreak of the war, though, the letter wasn't delivered until october. but what the letter did was warn franklin roosevelt of the danger of uranium-based weapons. it reads some recent work by enry question leads me to
