Religion Quotes (page 22)

Early religions were like muddy ponds with lots of foliage. Concealed there, the fish of the soul could splash and feed. Eventually, however, religions became aquariums. Then hatcheries. From farm fingerling to frozen fish stick is a short swim. Tom Robbins
Khalil Gibran quote: "A truly religious man does not embrace a religion; and he who..."
A truly religious man does not embrace a religion; and he who embraces one has no religion. Khalil Gibran
I believe in God... but I don't believe in religion. Religion is used to manipulate and punish. Used in a thousand ways for profit for even in the church, money is still the 'real' God. Virginia C. Andrews
I cannot understand why we idle discussing religion. If we are honest? and as scientists honesty is our precise duty? we cannot help but admit that any religion is a pack of false statements, deprived of any real foundation. The very idea of God is a product of human imagination. I do not recognize any religious myth, at least because they contradict one another. Paul Dirac
Here is the point about myself and my co-thinkers. Our belief is not a belief. Our principles are not a faith. We do not hold our convictions dogmatically. We believe with certainty that an ethical life can be lived without religion. And we know for a fact that the corollary holds true - that religion has caused innumerate people not just to conduct themselves no better than others, but to award themselves permission to behave in ways that would make a brothel-keeper or an ethnic cleanser... Christopher Hitchens
A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter. Alan Watts
Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state,' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society. Thomas Jefferson
That’s what religion does. It points a finger. It causes wars. It breaks apart countries. It’s a petri dish for stereotypes to grow in. Religion’s not about being holy...Just holier-than-thous. Jodi Picoult
These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over. Van Morrison
I found enormous opposition to my religion. It's like if you want to strengthen your biceps, you lift heavy weight, as heavy as you can handle, and work your muscles against resistance until it grows strong. I had to do that with my religion. Ricardo Montalban
Maggie Gyllenhaal quote: "I studied English literature; I took 2 independent religion..."
I studied English literature; I took 2 independent religion classes, but I wasn't a religion major really. Maggie Gyllenhaal
I think the real problem for American religion are those minority of fundamentalists who try to identify political policies with religion. Andrew Greeley
Billy Graham quote: "The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom..."
The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. Billy Graham
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not..."
He who possesses art and science has religion; he who does not possess them, needs religion. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mahatma Gandhi quote: "Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not..."
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is. Mahatma Gandhi
