I’m not involved in the politics of religion, but I love what the message is.
One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.
Chinese culture in general is not very religious. Confucianism is more a code of ethics than a religion, and ancestor worship is a way for parents to control you even after they’re dead.
To know a person’s religion we need not listen to his profession of faith but must find his brand of intolerance.
I want young people to know that they can belong – whatever your culture, your religion, your sexuality – that you can live life how you want to live it and feel comfortable how you are.
God’s love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.
What we need to do is we need to come to grips with this cancerous form of the Islamic religion that is breaking down the Arab world order, and that is very clear.
I’ve got no problem with anybody’s religion. But if you go claiming the Earth is only 10,000 years old, that’s just wrong.
If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word – prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
Science, we are repeatedly told, is the most reliable form of knowledge about the world because it is based on testable hypotheses. Religion, by contrast, is based on faith. The term ‘doubting Thomas’ well illustrates the difference.
Scientific prayer makes God a celestial lab rat, leading to bad science and worse religion.
Contrary to what many secularists allege, the Constitution and Bill of Rights did not ‘privatize’ religion and quarantine it from the public square.
For no art and no religion is possible until we make allowances, until we manage to keep quiet the enfant terrible of logic that plays havoc with the other faculties.
When it came to religion, I felt I belonged to no one. It saddened me, it angered me, it confused me, and it made me religiously ambivalent. So I chose my calling: Cubs baseball.
To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
In Australia, they really want to turn me into a religion. A religion! Can you imagine? The Church of Edna? Oh. I don’t want to be over-revered.
Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies.
If organized religion is the opium of the masses, then disorganized religion is the marijuana of the lunatic fringe.
You need the past as a guideline. The history of music is a good basis, but to escape that stuff, that tortuous rulebook, you have to learn it first. It’s kind of like religion – once you’ve written the Bible, that’s it, move on.
I’ve always been very vocal about my religion. It’s a big part of who I am.
Existentialism is about being a saint without God; being your own hero, without all the sanction and support of religion or society.
Indians today are governed by two different ideologies. Their political ideal set in the preamble of the Constitution affirms a life of liberty, equality and fraternity. Their social ideal embodied in their religion denies them.
In my opinion, love is not about gender, it’s not about religion. Love has no borders and no boundaries.
There’s so many strict ideas and rules, whether it’s from religion or it’s just generations and generations.
A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.
