Shambhala Sun - Leonard Cohen: "The Other Side of Waiting": "Well, my feeling is that democracy is the religion of the West, perhaps the greatest religion the West has produced, because it affirms other religions. Most religions have a lot of trouble affirming other religions. A great religion affirms other religions, and a great culture affirms other cultures.
Democracy is a faith and an ideal, and I think it is the greatest expression of our western experience. It can be set against anything that any other area of the world has presented, either religion or mysticism or anything else. This notion that there is this fraternity of men and women is a very, very high idea."
