religion

D.H. Lawrence
It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing.
Edmund Burke
Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation.
Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.
Francois Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
If God has created us in His image, we have more than returned the compliment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Woman was God's second mistake.
He who has a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how'.
Fulton J. Sheen
Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn.
Galileo Galilei
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
George Washington Carver
Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.
GK Chesterton
Is one religion as good as another? Is one horse in the Derby as good as another?
It has been often said, very truly, that religion is the thing that makes the ordinary man feel extraordinary; it is an equally important truth that religion is the thing that makes the extraordinary man feel ordinary.
H. G. Wells
Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo.
Henry Louis Mencken
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
Jonathan Swift
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.
Mahatma Gandhi
There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.
Mark Twain
India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion, other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.
Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.
Martin Luther King Jr.
Religion operates not only on the vertical plane but also on the horizontal. It seeks not only to integrate men with God but to integrate men with men and each man with himself.
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Walking in shoes is physical walking, but walking barefoot is spiritual walking!
Michel de Certeau
Political organizations have slowly substituted themselves for the Churches as the places of believing practices, but for this very reason, they seem to have been haunted by the return of a very ancient (preChristian) and very “pagan” alliance between power and religion. It is as though now that religion has ceased to be an autonomous power (the “power of religion,” people used to say), politics has once again become religious.
