John Adams quote: "The government of the United States is not, in any sense,..."

John Steinbeck quote: "What some people find in religion a writer may find in his..."
What some people find in religion a writer may find in his craft...a kind of breaking through to glory. John Steinbeck
In a way, the futile excuses many people use to cover their superstitions are demolished. They think it is enough to have some sort of religious fervor, however ridiculous, not realizing that true religion must be according to God's will as the perfect measure; that He can never deny Himself and is no mere spirit form to be changed around according to individual preference. John Calvin
Ninety-nine percent of everything that goes on in most Christian churches has nothing whatsoever to do with the actual religion. Intelligent people all notice this sooner or later, and they conclude that the entire one hundred percent is bullshit, which is why atheism is connected with being intelligent in people's minds. Neal Stephenson
Dodie Smith quote: "I think it [religion] is an art, the greatest one; an..."

All religions are good 'in principle' - but unfortunately this abstract Good has only rarely prevented their practitioners from behaving like bastards. Paul Feyerabend
Be a man!... What good is religion if it collapses under calamity? Think of what earthquakes and floods, wars and volcanoes, have done before to men! Did you think that God had exempted [us]? He is not an insurance agent. H. G. Wells
Margaret Mead quote: "It is easier to change a man's religion than to change his diet."
It is easier to change a man's religion than to change his diet. Margaret Mead
Provided that any of those neighbours sing out of tune or have boots that squeak, or double chins, or odd clothes, the patient will quite easily believe that their religion must therefore be somehow ridiculous. C. S. Lewis
Terry Prachett quote: "Voodoo is a very interesting religion for the whole family,..."
Voodoo is a very interesting religion for the whole family, even those members of it who are dead. Terry Prachett
I just wish this social institution [religion] wasn't based on what appears to me to be a monumental hoax built on an accumulation of customs and myths directed toward proving something that isn't true. Andy Rooney
Wendell Berry quote: "This religion that scorned the beauty and goodness of this..."
This religion that scorned the beauty and goodness of this world was a puzzle to me. Wendell Berry
What would the new teacher, representing France, teach us? Railroading? No. France knows nothing valuable about railroading. Steamshipping? No. France has no superiorities over us in that matter. Steamboating? No. French steamboating is still of Fulton's date--1809. Postal service? No. France is a back number there. Telegraphy? No, we taught her that ourselves. Journalism? No. Magazining? No, that is our own specialty. Government? No; Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, Nobility, Democracy,... Mark Twain
The soul of man is the lamp of God,’ says a wise Jewish proverb. Man is a weak and miserable creature when God’s light is not burning in his soul. But when it burns (and it only burns in souls enlightened by religion), man becomes the most powerful creature in the world. And it cannot be otherwise, for what then works in him is not his own strength, but the strength of God. Leo Tolstoy
