As long as I don't write about the government, religion, politics, and other institutions, I am free to print anything.

P.a. Caron De Beaumarchais

Thou shalt not merge religion and government. Promoting religion is the job of houses of worship, not government. Our legal system especially must avoid even the appearance of bias on the basis of religion.

Barry Lynn

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

Bill Gates

A religion such as Judaism or Catholicism might survive even if it comes to reject a literal account of God creating man and animals. But it cannot survive the rejection of an immaterial soul.

Paul Bloom

We found that online daters had access to a wider pool that could help them find a better match. They could search for people and focus on niche interests like religion affiliation. They also had a sense of control in an arena where a lot is left up to chance.

Mary Madden

He must teach evolution exclusively observable scientific fact, not beliefs or religion. I fully believe he will comply. He just stepped over the line.

Alan Lee

We fear this decision is going to worsen the confusion in the minds of the public about whether you can legally discriminate in the name of religion. The bottom line is that you should not be able to treat patients in a discriminatory way.

Jennifer Pizer

Man without religion is the creature of circumstances.

Augustus Hare

We applaud these guidelines. If they are applied properly, they will safeguard the free exercise of religion guaranteed to all citizens, both military and civilian.

Tom Minnery

I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.

B. R. Ambedkar

Each religion, by the help of more or less myth which it takes more or less seriously, proposes some method of fortifying the human soul and enabline it to make its peace with its destiny.

George Santayana

We're well beyond the religion days. This is about the capabilities. Reliability is the term most customers talk about.

Ryan Gavin

RELIGION, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable. 'What is your religion my son?' inquired the Archbishop of Rheims. 'Pardon, monseigneur,' replied Rochebriant; 'I am ashamed of it.' 'Then why do you not become an atheist?' 'Impossible! I should be ashamed of atheism.' 'In that case, monsieur, you should join the Protestants.'

Ambrose Bierce

A dislike of death is no proof of the want of religion. The instincts of nature shrink from it, for no creature can like its own dissolution. But though death is not desired, the result of it may be, for dying to the Christian is the way to life eternal.

William Jay

Mike was very religious; that was something I didn't know. But he didn't push his religion on anyone.

Brett Bailey

Unless criticism refuses to take itself quite so seriously or at least to permit its readers not to, it will inevitably continue to reflect the finicky canons of the genteel tradition and the depressing pieties of the Culture Religion of Modernism.

Leslie Fiedler

Things are being done in the name of religion, but it's not good enough for the media to describe them simply as Islamic.

Phil Harding

She does quite a lot with religion which is unusual for a crime writer ... the question about sin and the way it exists in the world, how you deal with it and how it exists in life.

Charles Elliott

I will be a president of all Bulgarians irrespective of their ethnicity, religion or political affiliations.

Georgi Parvanov

Religion as a human phenomenon is as riddled through with potential for both good and evil as any other phenomenon.

Richard John Neuhaus

My political heroes are Barry Goldwater and Harry Truman. Goldwater would roll in his grave if he saw this Republican Party that wants to invade your bedroom and mix religion and politics.

Russ Potts

Of all possible sexual perversions, religion is the only one to have ever been scientifically systematized.

Louis Aragon

For me sport was a religion... with religious sentiment.

Pierre De Coubertin

People look to science to give them complete certainty, complete assurance, in the same way they look to religion.

John D. Barrow

How many evils have flowed from religion.

Lucretius

It became like a religion.

Dot Matthews

Sometimes it's so vulgar that it's not particularly good for religion. But if religion is in everything, it has to be in the vulgar stuff, too.

Michael Novak

Practically speaking, your religion is the story you tell about your life.

Andrew Greeley

There's no reason to bring religion into it. I think we ought to have as great a regard for religion as we can, so as to keep it out of as many things as possible.

Sean O'Casey

I wanted to be a minister when I first went to college. You see, I was very shy as a kid, and couldn't figure out how to communicate with people. I guess I was trying to get people to listen to me, but I thought I was interested in religion. I realized very quickly that I just wanted to move people and be the center of attention.

John Davidson

Everybody gets religion after a scandal, at least for a while. There are a lot of ethics rules in the House and Senate. The problem is that there either aren't enough rules or the enforcement has been insufficient.

Jan Baran

Conflict between science and religion a dangerous foe.

Henry Norris Russell

Religion closes off the central questions of existence by attempting to dissuade us from further enquiry by asserting that we cannot ever hope to comprehend. We are, religion asserts, simply too puny.

Peter William Atkins

This is a place for everyone of any age, race or religion.

John George

Hockey is a religion in Canada and there will be a disproportionate amount of coverage of this. It is an issue we would rather have not occurred and we hope it doesn't take away from some of the other athletes.

Chris Rudge

Part of that exhibit was obviously religion-bashing.

Michael Hess

I have always respected everyone's religion. As I say, there is only one God and a lot of confused people.

Hazel Scott

We're living in a political climate where governments and the media in the West feel they can get away with something like this. There are double-standards here. I think you need to appreciate the Muslims take their religion very seriously.

Anjem Choudary

These schools need to learn from history and end religion-based oppression. The Bible has been used for centuries to make an outcast.

Haven Herrin

He that has not religion to govern his morality, is not a dram better than my mastiff-dog; so long as you stroke him, and please him, and do not pinch him, he will play with you as finely as may be, he is a very good moral mastiff; but if you hurt him, he will fly in your face, and tear out your throat.

John Selden

Jihad is part of my religion. What you have to understand is that anyone who fights on behalf of Allah, when he dies, the first drop of blood that comes out, all of his sins will be forgiven.

Abu Bakr

He has to pander to the masses in the same way George Bush does in the United States. But in this country they don't talk about religion and God. They talk about keeping certain precious assets in the hands of the French.

Christopher Mesnooh

The mission of the school is woven through everything we do here. We don't separate academics and religion; everything is connected.

Henry Selby

Now, we deny not, but that politicians may sometimes abuse religion, and make it serve for the promoting of their own private interests and designs; which yet they could not do so well neither, were the thing itself a mere cheat and figment of their own, and had no reality at all in nature, nor anything solid at the bottom of it.

Ralph Cudworth

I guess he got religion on slowing down growth and cutting the tax rate.

Phil Andrews

We're not apologizing for printing the cartoon. I do personally to any caller, letter-writer, anybody that comes in. We're not attempting to offend a certain ethnicity, race, or religion. It just so happens in this case that one was offended, and we did know that going in.

Bryan Tucker

Just because a religion owns a particular hospital doesn't mean they get to set all the rules.

Rep. Michael Lawlor

Is Religion Political? As a political force, organized religion today is mainly on the conservative side. This was not always the case. How did it happen?

Nicholas Lemann

We incline, therefore, to think the parishes should be equal or near, because in the reformed religion the principal use of a church is to preach in.

William Petty

The only foundation for a useful education in a republic is to be laid in religion. Without this there can be no virtue, and without virtue there can be no liberty.

Benjamin Rush

Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters.

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Even though you can't expect to defeat the absurdity of the world, you must make that attempt. That's morality, that's religion. That's art. That's life.

Phil Ochs

Religion is pickled God.

H. G. Wells

It (the attack) was an un-Islamic act. No religion justifies violence as a means to resolve differences in faiths.

Din Syamsuddin

Educate men without religion and you make of them but clever devils.

Arthur Wellesley

The caricatures and cartoons which have appeared are a very serious issue as far as Muslims are concerned. Western governments and Western media need to appreciate that Muslims take their religion very seriously.

Anjem Choudary

Their living room is lined floor-to-ceiling with religious and nonfiction books. They, like many younger, educated Bangladeshi, are more overtly devout than their parents. They are more educated about the tenets of their religion.

Peter Ford

I don't think I can get into my deep inner thoughts about hitting. It's like talking about religion.

Mike Schmidt

We urge the US Government to stop interfering in China's religious affairs under the guise of the religion issue.

Liu Jianchao

MONSIGNOR, n. A high ecclesiastical title, of which the Founder of our religion overlooked the advantages.

Ambrose Bierce

The pride of life hath corrupted the judgment of others, and perverted them in the way of religion.

George Gillespie

In morals what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness; in religion what begins in fear usually ends in fanaticism. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil.

Anna Jameson

The collection is about the many-faceted musical forms of Jewish life that were written for religion, theatre or politics.

Neil Levin

That cannot be a true religion which needs carnal weapons to uphold it.

Roger Williams

Oppression in the name of religion is a time-honored tradition. I'm sorry that people are fearful. Those fears are usually based on ignorance.

Katy Sorenson

A pretty good test of a man's religion is how it affects his pocketbook.

Francis J. Grimke

Let the professors of Christianity recommend their religion by deeds of benevolence - by Christian meekness - by lives of temperance and holiness.

Richard Mentor Johnson

For example, as a white woman, I'm shaped by my class, my gender, my race, my sex. My life is shaped by privilege as a white person, but at the same time, I may have experienced discrimination based on my gender or my religion.

Abby Ferber

Religion is all-too-often a refuge for scoundrels.

Neal Boortz

Religion is your responsibility and Iraq is your responsibility and you should be aware of the strife that the West is trying to incite among believers.

Moqtada Sadr

For Iraq, it's very clear that Saddam Hussein deprived many people of their nationality - particularly the Kurds. What we would like to see in the negotiations on the constitution is to ensure ... that it is not possible to deprive a person of his or her nationality on grounds linked to religion or other factors.

Philippe Leclerc

As for the Devil - that is somebody our religion tried to do without for a long time.

Kerry Thornley

If Goddess religion is not to become mindless idiocy, we must win clear of tendency of magic to become supertition. Magic - and among its branches I include psychology as its purpose to describe and change consciousness - is an art.

Starhawk

I think this is not a report that focuses on China anymore than it focuses on any other one country, ... But those who are seeking to exercise basic rights of freedom of religion in China (are being persecuted.)

John Shattuck

I do not see evolution as something that is anti-religion.

Michael Ruse

For that again, is what all manner of religion essentially is: childish dependency.

Albert Ellis

Anybody can practice any religion they want to practice.

David Nash

There is so much intolerance and so many people are dying because of race, religion and culture. People see difference before they see the humanity in others. I'm not so naive as to think my climb will change the world, but I think it can inspire people.

Lance Trumbull

The role of the federal government should be neutral toward culture just as it is toward religion.

Preston Manning

Science can destroy religion by ignoring it as well as by disproving its tenets. No one ever demonstrated, so far as I am aware, the non-existence of Zeus or Thor - but they have few followers now.

Arthur C. Clarke

The curriculum has been extended to include lessons on symbolism and art interpretation. They've learned a bit of geology and religion to understand the culture. We go into music and rhythm and a little bit on dance.

Teri Brown

I guess this album is a little bit more politically charged. David's a very opinionated guy. He has strong opinions and strong beliefs. In no way are we forcing our opinions on people. It's his opportunity to express the way he feels about certain things. Besides, you know, religion and politics and world issues and relationship issues – these are usually the things that strike a nerve with him.

Dan Donegan

The universe appears to me like an immense, inexorable torture-garden. Passions, greed, hatred, and lies; law, social institutions, justice, love, glory, heroism, and religion: these are its monstrous flowers and its hideous instruments of eternal human suffering.

Octave Mirbeau

Whatever people say about America, it is still one of the most wonderful countries in the world, despite the politics, religion and everything else that goes on.

Peter Mayhew

The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs, and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied, by our real problems / the problems of life and of human relations, of creation and behavior and religion.

John Maynard Keynes

The rally this morning couldn't hold up because there's just no conviction. There's some selling pressure there, but it's more that buyers have no religion. Tech and telecom are this huge drag on the market. People are buying very defensively in health care, chemicals, consumer products and pharmaceuticals.

Tim Heekin

If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is high church.

Tom Brokaw

Too austere a philosophy makes few wise men; too rigorous politics, few good subjects; too hard a religion, few persons whose devotion is of long continuance.

Charles De Saint evremond

The main object of religion is not to get a man into heaven, but to get heaven into him.

Thomas Hardy

Matters of religion should never be matters of controversy. We neither argue with a lover about his taste, not condemn him, if we are just, for knowing so human a passion.

George Santayana

The department is committed to ensuring that all Americans are hired, promoted and compensated fairly, without respect to their race, gender, ethnicity, disability, religion or veterans' status.

Charles A. James

Religion and morality are playing a greater role than they did 20 years ago.

Douglas Laycock

Fervid atheism is usually a screen for repressed religion.

Wilhelm Stekel

This would be against the grain with the way Islam is practiced in this region. I think Malaysian Muslims, like Indonesian Muslims and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, are not comfortable with this sort of very rigid, dogmatic approach to religion.

Chandra Muzaffar

The existence of a terrorist cell is an invention, ... we've been living here for 20 years, we come from the same country, we have the same religion and the same customs.

Imad Eddin Barakat Yarkas

If we allow the consideration of heathen morality and heathen religion to absolve us from the duty of preaching the gospel we are really deposing Christ from His throne in our own souls.

Roland Allen

To this day I do not know whether the power which has inspired my works is something related to religion, or is indeed religion itself.

Kathe Kollwitz

Rev. Instead, the Church works for freedom of thought and freedom of religion in the US and abroad.

John Carmichael

NIRVANA, n. In the Buddhist religion, a state of pleasurable annihilation awarded to the wise, particularly to those wise enough to understand it.

Ambrose Bierce

If any religion allows the persecution of the people of different faiths, if any religion keeps women in slavery, if any religion keeps people in ignorance, then I can't accept that religion.

Taslima Nasrin

For whatever reason, people are very interested in religion and religious themes right now. We are living in a religious age. You don?t have to be a believer to be interested in these themes.

Michael Rosenfeld

You must understand how shameful it is for us that a Muslim would become a Christian. If other people want to join Islam, we encourage and appreciate them. But ours is the complete and final religion. If you leave it, that is like throwing God away.

Abdul Rauf

Normally at this time people are more directed to religion, doing business is not the priority.

Michel Alaby

No white group has founded a major religion on this planet. The major religious were started in the Orient and the Middle East, not in Greece and Rome. I always knew you racists didn't have a prayer.

Jane Elliot

It was a conscious decision by (Sir Robert) Walpole and others to replace religion with making money. Elections replaced battles, and the fights were over party politics.

Simon Schama

Religion can be likened as a hand pointing to the moon which is God. The hand navigates us the moon, as religion helps us to understand Him a bit more. However people keep their focus on the hand instead of the moon.

Ade Okelarin

I think (others) were hoping James Sullivan might become a better person before he came out. A lot of people went by religion. I think some of the people were on the fence. But we all reached the conclusion he should be in there the rest of his life.

Debra Klayman

To me, it seems that mankind can never achieve its highest potentialities till it has thrown off the incubus of historic (and prehistoric) religion . . .

William Archer

What happened to these young men, it had nothing to do with religion. It was a random thing. They just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time doing the right thing.

James Russell Lowell

We've got it all covered, right here at this table -- traveling, cars, politics, law enforcement and religion.

Jim Powell

Religion is a hot-button issue for people, and in a way I think that is good. Religion matters.

Robert Ferrigno

It questions religion and the certainty of established religion. But there's a huge adventure story there, slipping from our world to another. We are in the most fantastic of parallel worlds.

Mary King

Every politician in the world has an ideology, and ideology stems from religion.

Marla Selvidge

Religion is induced insanity.

Madalyn Murray O'hair

SCRIPTURES, n. The sacred books of our holy religion, as distinguished from the false and profane writings on which all other faiths are based.

Ambrose Bierce

Money is pyramiding. Religion is pyramiding. Education is pyramiding. The environment is pyramiding. The pyramid of progress has destroyed the marbles circle, it's destroyed the family circle.

Gene Ray

In the last 40 years, we can consider Mother Olga as the greatest proponent of the religion of the Orixas in all Brazil .

Gilberto Gil

This is one of the best eating cities. Dining out is a religion and chefs are celebrities.

Paul Waters

Far from being hostile to religion is capable of rendering religion important services.

Henry Norris Russell

To me, words and what's behind the words are what perpetuates the Jewish religion, as opposed to icons. To be able to see the Dead Sea Scrolls spoke very loudly to me of my faith and connection to Judaism.

Carol Barnett

Religion should be a source for reconciliation, for tolerance and for empathy.

Charles Kimball

I honor religion except when it gets into shedding blood.

Rip Torn

The religion of one seems madness unto another.

Thomas Browne, Sr.

. . . full sexual consciousness and a natural regulation of sexual life mean the end of mystical feelings of any kind, that, in other words, natural sexuality is the deadly enemy of mystical religion. The church, by making the fight over sexuality the center of its dogmas and of its influence over the masses, confirms this concept.

Wilhelm Reich

Acceptance without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western religion, rejection without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Western science.

Gary Zukav

We're Muslims like they are. It is not possible that Islam says to kill these people. And there's no religion in the whole world that supports a kidnapper and a killer. No morals, no ethics.

Sami Hassoun

In America, quite simply, sports constitute a form of popular religion.

Joseph Price

My mom is a teacher here and I hear everyday that the kids pray for Nate the army guy. And I'm glad she asked that question about religion, because it's good they keep that a priority in life.

Nathan Rosane

The first thing I like to address in my classes is the lack of knowledge about Islam. People in this country have major misconceptions about the religion.

Ahmed N. Elrefai

No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.

Noah Webster

Organized religion: The world's largest pyramid scheme.

Bernard Katz

I think when you attack somebody because of their race, religion or sex, it's really a crime against a class of people. Whenever you have minorities beat up ... it's intended to create fear in a community and it needs to be treated with an extra penalty to deter that.

Bill Cohen

I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but ignorance.

Christopher Marlowe

Unless biology is geared toward an evolution perspective, we are going to a dead-end. Our science courses have to be geared toward evolution ...[and] science education has to be religion-free.

Dr Berhane Asfaw

When theology erodes and organization crumbles, when the institutional framework of religion begins to break up, the search for a direct experience which people can feel to be religious facilitates the rise of cults.

Daniel Bell

To become a popular religion, it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy. (Idea of Progress).

William Ralph Inge

I am non-violent. I am for peace. It is against my religion. It is against my embodiment to do anything that is by force, intimidation or threat.

Daniel Burns

The sad fact is, that the desire for speed and hurry has affected religion more than anything else, ... People want instant comfort, instant satisfaction, instant salvation.

Ralph Wood

I think it's ignorance of both the Christian religion and politics to think that Christians have to be Republican.

Amy Moore

Art and Religion are, then, two roads by which men escape from circumstance to ecstasy. Between aesthetic and religious rapture there is a family alliance. Art and Religion are means to similar states of mind.

Clive Bell

Ethical religion can be real only to those who are engaged in ceaseless efforts at moral improvement. By moving upward we acquire faith in an upward movement, without limit.

Felix Adler

Do not be afraid of being free thinkers! If you think strongly enough you will be forced by science to the belief in God, which is the foundation of all religion. You will find science not antagonistic but helpful to religion.

Lord Kelvin

Heaven is such that all who have lived well, of whatever religion, have a place there.

Emanuel Swedenborg

There's a gullible side to the American people. They can be easily misled. Religion is the best device used to mislead them.

Michael Moore

We are conducting more interviews in those two areas, relatives as well as associates, ... So far we have no indication of any prejudices against any sort of religion or nationality.

Richard Garcia

If my religion is true, it will stand up to all my questioning; there is no need to fear.

Madeleine L'Engle

We were told we should not pay any attention to John Roberts views and religion and now we are told that opinions and religion do matter. I believe there is a degree of sexism here. . .and ivy league prejudice going on here.

Cokie Roberts

The issue of whether taxpayer money needs, and should, be used for a religion-bashing kind of exhibit like that is a legitimate legal issue to be litigated. Maybe, some day, it will come up to the Supreme Court and we'll see what they might say on an issue like that.

Michael Hess

Our intentions are to promote human rights for everyone, we're not there to change anyone's religion. We pray once they (the hostages' captors) understand that and hear from our Muslim and Arab supporters, they will be released.

Doug Pritchard

Some people talk of morality, and some of religion, but give me a little snug property.

Maria Edgeworth

During Presidential campaigns, politics is a highly sensitive matter, right up there with religion, and whether to talk politics at work is kind of a political decision in and of itself.

Neil Lebovits

The public schools have to be guarded against promoting a religion. We exist for the purpose of promoting Christianity.

Brian Ryherd

These are the physical images of our tradition ... from out there where the wind and the dirt are. Outside is the spirituality, the religion, the ethereal. This is real, the concrete, physical foundation of what we are.

Valentina Lapier

The conventional wisdom is that Republicans trump Democrats when it comes to involvement in religion.

Murray Edelman

What's fascinating to me is that it's a good play. You can read it on levels of literature, poetry, politics and religion. But when you start to look at it as a play, it's a great play. It does all the things a good play should. It has action, characters with relationships that change, crises.

Scott Wise

Almost 80 percent of countries do not have separation of religion and state. I really did not think that existed to this extent and with this kind of consistency.

Jonathan Fox

He is an elderly man and he is due to become a grandfather soon. Be merciful. Our religion, Islam, does not allow us to harm the innocent.

Iqbal Sacranie

He goes beyond religion, he goes to his heart, ... For somebody who has lived through all he has, he can still show a level of love and compassion that inspires the human spirit.

Tony Robbins

This place saved my life. I was always on drugs, living the fast life. That's why she left me [mother of his children]. I know it sounds like jailhouse religion, but he [God] wants you to come to him in your hour of need.

Norman Fehr

I think that's too easy for him. That's what he wants. That's their religion.

Sherri Williams

Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He is himself the way.

Karl Barth

In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed.

Noah Webster

Religion and his faith have always been very important to him.

Michael Deviney

These residents are making their judgments because of race, national origin and religion.

Shanna Smith

I don't believe in organized religion - I dealt with them hand in hand, and a whole bunch of Catholic priests tried to molest me. Telling me I was gay and I should go home with them and stuff.

Jonathan Davis

Those with pre-existing heart ailments will find it difficult to bear the extreme stress and trauma inflicted by the massive earthquake and it is here they can get solace through religion.

Arshad Hussain

Religion is dogmatic. Politic is ideological. Reason must be logical, but literature has a privilege of being equivocal.

Carlos Fuentes

Praise the Lord. I'm glad to see at least one South Carolina chain that still believes in American fair play and my constitutional rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Maurice Bessinger

If religion cannot restrain evil, it cannot claim effective power for good.

Morris Cohen

We'll be looking at what the different world religions have to contribute to our understanding of the human person, nature, science and the divine. We'll be looking at convergence and divergence of religion and science.

Greg Fields

The enemy is not out there. The enemy is within you. ... How we see religion is in our mind. But religion itself is the truth: peace and harmony.

Tenzin Dhonden

President Bush believes that hurricanes, floods and earthquakes don't discriminate on the basis of religion and that government's response to them should not either.

Jim Towey

It's difficult for the Belgians, the Danes, the French – it's difficult for them to believe that these former colonies have a religion that is of consequence. They get a kick out of insulting them.

Sayyid Syeed

How can you tell when a political ideology has become the equivalent of a religion?

Andrew Sullivan

Where judges do not protect us from having religion imposed upon us but rather declare war on religion.

Lindsay Graham

A union of government and religion tends to destroy government and degrade religion.

Hugo Black

We are trying to bring to the world what is happening there and how innocent people are killed just because of their religion. They cannot even hold their meetings properly. Not only did they kill him, they went and confiscated his property, so his wife and children are left with nothing.

Dr. Rezvan Mohragi

We first fought the heathens in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change.

Serj Tankian

Religion to me is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don't need.

Bill Maher

Straight edge is depending on yourself and no one else. Religion should be relying on yourself and not relying on other people to tell you how to do things.

Ben Crickenberger

Not a religion for gentlemen.

Charles Ii

Religion converts despair, which destroys, into resignation, which submits.

Marguerite Blessington

This is my religion. I take long breaks now when I don't perform and I am not myself when I am not performing.

Roy Haynes

Of course God is endlessly multi-dimensional so every religion that exists on earth represents some face, some side of God.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

In some respects, economics is purely a way of thinking, a form of religion if you will, a philosophical base as to how one should approach the world and he believed in this approach.

Geoff Bump

The future is religion and commerce, aphrodisiac and Benzedrine, a mother of mysterious comfort and a mistress of familiar ravishments ever on the verge of embracing or destroying us.

Elaine Pagels

If religion is only human, and its form is man's form, it follows that everything in religion is true.

Emile auguste Chartier

It's the soldiers, not the protestors, who protect our rights. He (Doyle) died for freedom, and they're allowed freedom of the press, religion and speech. They have every right to protest, but not at soldiers' funerals.

Eric Peterson

I consider myself 40 percent Catholic and 60 percent Baptist. but I'm in favor of every religion, with the possible exception of snake-chunking. Anybody that so presumes on how he stands with Providence that he will let a snake bite him, I say he deserves what he's got coming to him.

Earl Long

[A suit filed by Edward Myers of Sterling, Va., a father of three, raised the objection to the phrase] one nation under God. ... The combination of God and country approaches a civic religion that is in competition with my religion.

Edward Myers

I think that public schools should not be allowed to teach any religion. The question is not whether to teach Islamic religion, but that we shouldn't teach the Catholic one either.

Emma Bonino

It's the soldiers, not the protestors, who protect our rights, ... He (Doyle) died for freedom, and they're allowed freedom of the press, religion and speech. They have every right to protest, but not at soldiers' funerals.

Eric Peterson
