Bhagat jiYour question came up a few weeks ago from another member. I spent about 2 hours trying to source this quote. It appears only on a few web sites; yet it has circulated a lot in recent years. I was not able to find any site where the quote could be tracked to a book or a seminar where Russell said that. My guess is that it will be found in his writings or speeches on the subject of nuclear war, perhaps.Here are some likely sources if anyone has the time to read through them.1959, Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare, London: George Allen & Unwin.1961, Has Man a Future?, London: George Allen & Unwin.1967, Russell's Peace Appeals (edited by Tsutomu Makino and Kazuteru Hitaka), Japan: Eichosha's New Current Books.I continued searching just now. It may have been in an interview, as Hari Singh writing on SikhiWiki suggested that this may where Russell said those words. Another essay which is tied to this quote is Why I Am Not a Christian. I just downloaded this essay and it is not there.
