According to a search I did, “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel” is attributed to a man named Samuel Johnson, who wrote it in his "Letter to Lord Chesterfield," 7 April 1775.
“Public office is the last refuge of a scoundrel” is attributed to someone named Boies Penrose, in 1931.
“Prayer is the last refuge of the scoundrel” is attributed to Lisa Simpson of "The Simpsons."
Couldn’t find one about “Religion is the last refuge of the scoundrel” though.
So, did you actually read that “old saying” somewhere or were you simply tweaking noses among your cheeves kindred?
