If religion and churches are truly threats to our liberties, how did those liberties survive, and in such healthy condition, all those years of classroom prayer and Bible-reading?
William Murchison
Image
To me the Mahabharata is a profoundly religious book, largely allegorical, in a way meant to be a historical record.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
My faith is that the only soul a man must save is his own.
William O. Douglas
Image
A student may easily exhaust his life in comparing divines and moralists without any practical regard to morals and religion he may be learning not to live but to reason... while the chief use of his volumes is unthought of, his mind is unaffected, and his life is unreformed.
Samuel Johnson
Image
Science has taken away our religion.
Bryan Appleyard
Image
Because they know not the forces of nature, and in order that they may have comrades in their ignorance, they suffer not that others should search out anything, and would have us believe like rustics and ask no reason... But we ask in all things a reason must be sought.
William of Conches

I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people. You can name it whatever you want, Islam or Christianity, but if you have a system in which God is distant and angry all the time, and you're trying to please him through the right disciplines, it isn't going to work for everyone.
William P. Young
Image
[I]t is impossible that any people of government should ever prosper, where men render not unto God, that which is God's, as well as to Caesar, that which is Caesar's.
William Penn
Image
Ah, mon cher, for anyone who is alone, without God and without a master, the weight of days is dreadful.
Albert Camus
Image
Interest has the security, though not the virtue of a principle. As the world goes, it is the surest side for men daily leave both relations and religion to follow it.
William Penn
Image
To have religion upon authority, and not upon conviction, is like a finger-watch, to be set forwards or backwards, as he pleases that has it in keeping.
William Penn
Image
God is so big. It's a gigantic concept in God. The idea that God might love us and be interested in us is kind of huge and gigantic, but we turn it, because we're small-minded, into this tiny, petty, often greedy version of God, that is religion.
Bono
Image
Don't wait for the last judgment - it takes place every day.
Albert Camus
Image
No religion is better than an unnatural one.
William Penn
Image
I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.
Albert Camus
Image
I had not found a new religion but I had found a new faith.
Marlo Morgan
Image
The majority has no right to impose its religion on the rest. That's a tradition as sacred as the Constitution itself to this country.
William Rainey Harper
Image
Religion is caught, not taught.
William Ralph Inge
Image
To become a popular religion, it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy.
William Ralph Inge
Image
I started lip-synching with Losing My Religion. There were a few horrendous mistakes we made, but I own those mistakes. I'm embarrassed by them. I always say when I look back at anything I've ever done, it's with equal dollops of humiliation and triumphant glory.
Michael Stipe
Image
I do not think that any man should be attacked because of his race or religion, or that he should be immune from attack because of race or religion.
William Randolph Hearst
Image
Religion did not exist for the saving of souls but for the preservation and welfare of society, and in all that was necessary to this end every man had to take his part, or break with the domestic and political community to which he belonged.
William Robertson Smith
Image
In all the antique religions, mythology takes the place of dogma that is, the sacred lore of priests and people... and these stories afford the only explanation that is offered of the precepts of religion and the prescribed rules of ritual.
William Robertson Smith
Image
Even the highest forms of sacrificial worship present much that is repulsive to modern ideas, and in particular it requires an effort to reconcile our imagination to the bloody ritual which is prominent in almost every religion which has a strong sense of sin.
William Robertson Smith
