Religion is not going to come up with any new arguments.

The Bible is a sanctum; the world, sputum.

Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.

We are not at war against Islam.

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.

One of my major keys is actually the master keys: God.

No matter the nationality, no matter the religion, no matter the ethnic background, America brings out the best in people.

No religion has mandated killing others as a requirement for its sustenance or promotion.

War is the greatest plague that can afflict humanity, it destroys religion, it destroys states, it destroys families. Any scourge is preferable to it.

Man is an exception, whatever else he is. If he is not the image of God, then he is a disease of the dust. If it is not true that a divine being fell, then we can only say that one of the animals went entirely off its head.

It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.

I don’t argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus‘ message was simple. Jesus didn’t go around condemning people.

As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God’s word to justify bigotry and persecution.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends.

I’m an idealist without illusions.

Religion is the recognition of all our duties as divine commands.

Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement.

Sometimes we look at gay being a bigger sin than being proud or not telling the truth. I don’t think God categorizes sins.

Your daily life is your temple and your religion. When you enter into it take with you your all.

Religion can be the enemy of God. It’s often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.

An enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

If I were a woman, I would love to have lots of kids. But for men, I don’t believe in it.

That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God.

A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

You can’t just have slogans, you can’t just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda. And I think what the Republican Party has to do, if it’s going to incorporate the tea party efforts in it, is to come up with an agenda that the American people can see, touch, and actually believe in, and something they believe in.

I love it when Muslims go to war with each other, as I do when the Christians do, because it shows there’s no such thing as the Christian world and the Islamic world. That’s all crap.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

I do not know whether there are gods, but there ought to be.

Each one prays to God according to his own light.

The most powerful idea that’s entered the world in the last few thousand years – the idea of grace – is the reason I would like to be a Christian.

Music is one of the most powerful things the world has to offer. No matter what race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation or gender that you are, it has the power to unite us.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.

Buddhism is not a creed, it is a doubt.

I’m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell.

By its birth, and for all time, Christianity is pledged to the Cross and dominated by the sign of the Cross. It cannot remain its own self except by identifying itself ever more intensely with the essence of the Cross.

If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.

‚God‘ is a relative word and has a respect to servants, and ‚Deity‘ is the dominion of God, not over his own body, as those imagine who fancy God to be the soul of the world, but over servants.

The greatest tragedy in mankind’s entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

I don’t let my religious world get too complicated.

To believe in God is impossible not to believe in Him is absurd.

In South Korea, they believe that when you turn 60, you’ve become a baby again and the rest of your life should be totally about joy and happiness, and people should leave you alone, and I just think that that’s the height of intelligence.

In this quest to seek and find God in all things, there is still an area of uncertainty. There must be. If a person says that he met God with total certainty and is not touched by a margin of uncertainty, then this is not good.

I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.

If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.

This way of life is worth defending.

There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.

If God can’t get you to obey Him concerning your money, he won’t get to anything else you got.

All religions have been made by men.

Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

You know that being an American is more than a matter of where your parents came from. It is a belief that all men are created free and equal and that everyone deserves an even break.

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one has done, in showing that religion and Government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.

Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test.

Arguments are extremely vulgar, for everyone in good society holds exactly the same opinion.

The Hindu religions gave me the impression of a vast well into which one plunges in order to grasp the reflection of the sun.
