James Randy works to show people how many religions or mystics are fakes and how easy it is for people to be fooled by them. As a talented magician he knows this from his trade.
He has exposed a number of fakes including some evangelical priests. His quote above is actually very similar to de Mellos philosophy that you need to change yourself, not the world.
