'In your article "Has Religion made Useful Contributions to Civilisation?" you pretend that the concept of righteousness is a relative one and thus not suitable as a moral standard. However, in the same article you maintain that in the education of children (to prevent jealousy) strict justice is required. I do not see a clear distinction between the concepts of righteousness and justice....'

Dear Mr Van Leuven, (January 26, 1963)
.. You will find if you examine the essay that I mean no more than that views of 'righteousness' vary with communities and periods. Justice in the treatment of children is easily understood as the lack of discrimination in the opportunities accorded them and the educational practice of not victimising children with harsh treatment for reasons of pedagogic prejudice. The two ideas ('righteousness) and fair treatment of children seem to be simple ones and not contradictory at all.
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell
