Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

I’m really trying to dredge up what one might call intellectual and moral material. For example, when do you realize that you are an American? What age does that happen to you? When do you realize what religion your parents practice? When does it all become conscious? I was interested in exploring all of that.

The constant assertion of belief is an indication of fear.

A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges is not Christian. This is not in the Gospel.

I believe in that old adage that ‚as goes California, so goes the country.‘

Luck is believing you’re lucky.

The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.

Commodities such as gold and silver have a world market that transcends national borders, politics, religions, and race. A person may not like someone else’s religion, but he’ll accept his gold.

I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren’t random.

To be an atheist requires an indefinitely greater measure of faith than to recieve all the great truths which atheism would deny.

I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all.

You just have to have a simple faith.

We’re in the last days, man – I truly, in my heart, believe that. It’s written. I could go on with biblical situations and things my grandma told me. But it’s about being at peace with myself and making good with the people around me.

A man must be both stupid and uncharitable who believes there is no virtue or truth but on his own side.

The cause of my life has been to oppose superstition. It’s a battle you can’t hope to win – it’s a battle that’s going to go on forever. It’s part of the human condition.

Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

There is an afterlife. I am convinced of this.

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

Responsibility, I believe, accrues through privilege.

Nothing is more dangerous to one’s own faith than the work of an apologist. No doctrine of that faith seems to me so spectral, so unreal as one that I have just successfully defended in a public debate.

We must respect the other fellow’s religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.

We account the Scriptures of God to be the most sublime philosophy.

I can control my destiny, but not my fate. Destiny means there are opportunities to turn right or left, but fate is a one-way street. I believe we all have the choice as to whether we fulfil our destiny, but our fate is sealed.

Freedom does not die from frontal attack. It dies because men in power no longer believe in a system based upon liberty.

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‚darkness‘ on the walls of his cell.

It is surely harmful to souls to make it a heresy to believe what is proved.

Like religion, politics, and family planning, cereal is not a topic to be brought up in public. It’s too controversial.

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

When you become a Christian, something truly amazing happens: God comes to live inside your heart. You become the home of God.

Religion is the frozen thought of man out of which they build temples.

People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.

Here’s the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don’t find it anywhere else.

Religion is a matter of the heart. No physical inconvenience can warrant abandonment of one’s own religion.

God does not play dice.

In politics, as in religion, it is equally absurd to aim at making proselytes by fire and sword. Heresies in either can rarely be cured by persecution.

I don’t believe in an outside agent that creates the world, then walks away. But I feel very strongly there is an intelligence at work in every flower, in every blade of grass, in every cell of my body. And it is that intelligence that, I wouldn’t say created the universe. It is creating the universe. It’s an ongoing process.

I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.

In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.

I would impress upon your minds the fact that if you want to do a man justice, you should believe what a man says himself rather than what people say he says.

The word ‚Christianity‘ is already a misunderstanding – in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.

First of all, you ask me if the God of Christians forgives one who doesn’t believe and doesn’t seek the faith. Premise that – and it’s the fundamental thing – the mercy of God has no limits if one turns to him with a sincere and contrite heart; the question for one who doesn’t believe in God lies in obeying one’s conscience.

Faith never makes a confession.

My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

My mother always used to say, ‚Well, if you had been born a little girl growing up in Egypt, you would go to church or go to worship Allah, but surely if those people are worshipping a God, it must be the same God‘ – that’s what she always said. The same God with different names.

If women believed in their husbands they would be a good deal happier and also a good deal more foolish.

The Christian religion, though scattered and abroad will in the end gather itself together at the foot of the cross.

I don’t think you ever really know what all you’re doing, so you have to act on faith.

The word ‚God‘ usually signifies ‚Lord‘, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.

There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.

Religion is compulsory in English schools, you know.

Nothing is void of God, his work is everywhere his full of himself.

People don’t come to church for preachments, of course, but to daydream about God.

There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.

I am a deeply religious nonbeliever – this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.

Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them.

In the West, we have been withdrawing from our tradition-, religion-, and even nation-centred cultures.

I believe in the religion of Islam. I believe in Allah and peace.
