Give a man religion without reminding him of his filth, and the result will be arrogance in a three- piece suit. Max Lucado
~ Max Lucado, The Applause of Heaven Imagine there?s no countries, it isn?t hard to do; nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace.
~ John Lennon, Imagine Counting is the religion of this generation it is its hope and its salvation.
~ Gertrude Stein I conceive the essential task of religion to be to develop the consciences, the ideals, and the aspirations of mankind.
~ Robert Millikan Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother.
~ Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire The fact that astronomies change while the stars abide is a true analogy of every realm of human life and thought, religion not least of all. No existent theology can be a final formulation of spiritual truth.
~ Harry Emerson Fosdick
To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.
~ Jorge Luis Borges Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not but superstition dismounts all these, and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men...the master of superstition is the people and arguments are fitted to practice, in a reverse order.
~ Francis Bacon
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche Think of how many religions attempt to validate themselves with prophecy. Think of how many people rely on these prophecies, however vague, however unfulfilled, to support or prop up their beliefs. Yet has there ever been a religion with the prophetic accuracy and reliability of science?
~ Carl Sagan Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
~ Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.
~ Albert Einstein
