When vice prevails, and impious men bear away, The post
of honor is a private station. --Addison.

Usage: Irreligious is negative, impious and profane are
positive. An indifferent man may be irreligious; a
profane man is irreverent in speech and conduct; an
impious man is wickedly and boldly defiant in the
strongest sense. Profane also has the milder sense of
secular. --C. J. Smith. -- {Im"pi*ous*ly}, adv. --
