In August of 1941, H.G. Wells wrote in his work, The Pocket History of the World:
Ideas of human solidarity, thanks to Christianity, were far more widely diffused in the newer European world, political power was not so concentrated, and the man of energy anxious to get rich turned his mind, therefore, very willingly from the ideas of the slave and of gang labour to the idea of mechanical power and the machine.3157
In his studies on education, H.G. Wells noted:
Education is the preparation of the individual for the community, and his religious training is the core of that preparation.3158
