In the excellent little book by Manfred Wuketits, Animal irrational. A short (natural) history of unreason, there is a wonderful quote by Bertrand Russell from 1950 (!), The contemporary could not be.

"Man is a gifted with reason living things - at least I've seismic been told I have searched carefully in my long life for proof, but have not had the luck to find them, although I have searched in many countries on three continents. . the contrary, I have seen how the world falls down continuously deeper and deeper into madness. seismic I have seen great nations that once stood at the head of civilization, but are now led by preachers bombastic nonsense astray. I've seen how cruelty, persecution, and superstition increasing by leaps and bounds. "
