I don’t feel the need for religion. But I went on a yoga retreat last year and I do believe slightly in the karma thing and just being good and true unto yourself. And I slightly believe that you can attract good and bad to you.
I have values. But morals are Christian. There’s no religion here. Values. Don’t hurt when you don’t need to, but don’t let anybody step over that line – it’s an invisible line, but it’s respect for somebody’s space.
Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers.
I have the highest respect for the concept of ‘Advait’ – the oneness of all humans – that is central to Indian culture, thought, and religion.
Behaving morally because of a hope of reward or a fear of punishment is not morality. Morality is not bribery or threats. Religion is bribery and threats. Humans have morality. We don’t need religion.
Religion is very important to me. I respect the rules of Islam, and I pray five times a day, always.
I’m not a religious person, and I’m not too interested in being a part of a religion, but I do like having some sort of communal gathering, and having some sense of peoples.
On a personal note, myself, I find religion – I can understand it, I can understand why we have it, as a kind of force on the planet. And I also at the same time think it’s ludicrous.
Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.
To fall in love is to create a religion that has a fallible god.
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
I’m Christian. Growing up in Ethiopia, it’s half-Christian and half-Muslim. You grow up with Muslim kids. I’m very much aware of their religion.
No religion has mandated killing others as a requirement for its sustenance or promotion.
Social media has lots of benefits, but compared to Christianity, it tends to group people by interests. Religion puts you with people who have nothing in common except that you’re human.
No one cares about race or religion or nationality in space travel. We’re all just part of Team Human.
I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.
In the 21st century, I believe the mission of the United Nations will be defined by a new, more profound awareness of the sanctity and dignity of every human life, regardless of race or religion.
I’ve never had any religion. I’d prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn’t make myself believe.
You’ll never get me to speak religion. You’ll never get me to speak politics.
We had South African accents. I was a vegan. I was raised without religion. I was just the weirdest kid in this small town, so I got made fun of a lot for it.
My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We’re all god.
The true meaning of religion is thus, not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Resist this war on God, freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
I’m a believer. I don’t go to church. I don’t belong to any particular religion, but I do believe in God. I couldn’t write what I write about and be creative without a certain form of belief.
We’re losing our freedom of speech. We are losing freedom of religion. We are losing freedom of the press.
