” Christianity tells people to repent and promises them forgiveness. It therefore has nothing (as far as I know) to say to people who do know that they have anything to repent of and who do not feel that they need forgiveness. It is after you have realized that there is a real Moral Law, and a Power behind that law, and that you have broken that law and put yourself wrong with that Power – it is after all this, and not a moment sooner, that Christianity begins to talk.”

C.S. Lewis
