I think Christianity is maybe the only religion that offers humans forgiveness and transcendence, along with an afterlife. It gives meaning to our existence (I'm obviously speaking as a Christian--please, don't take offence anyone).
I read some books by CS Lewis about Christianity...he called it the "fighting religion," the *one* that fights for human dignity and meaning. Maybe this quote is something along the same lines?
