Christ didn’t choose the rich to preach the doctrine; he choose 12 poor ignorant workers – that is, he chose the proletariat of the times.

I can’t prove it scientifically, that there’s a God, but I believe.

God is the name people give to the reason we are here. But I think that reason is the laws of physics rather than someone with whom one can have a personal relationship. An impersonal God.

Every people have gods to suit their circumstances.

The ‚New Testament‘, now, I quite liked. Jesus had a lot of good things to say, and as for his father, he must have been highly thought of by the community to work with wood – a material that couldn’t have been widely available in Palestine.

If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.

Next to religion, let your care be to promote justice.

The only thing that matters is submitting to the will of God.

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

Christianity is a lifestyle. And being a Christian is more than a label.

I was born poor and without religion, under a happy sky, feeling harmony, not hostility, in nature. I began not by feeling torn, but in plenitude.

What we need is a system of thought – you might even call it a religion – that can bind humans together. A system that would fit the Republic of Chad as well as the United States: a system that would supply our idealistic young people with something to believe in.

We must not reduce the bosom of the universal church to a nest protecting our mediocrity.

When I hear Mitt Romney say that he believes that Jesus is the Son of God, that He’s the Christ, raised from the dead, that He’s his savior – that’s good enough for me.

The more the division of labor and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together.

A lot of churches have not moved with the times.

Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.

Make sure of your commitment to Jesus Christ, and seek to follow Him every day. Don’t be swayed by the false values and goals of this world, but put Christ and His will first in everything you do.

By respect for life we become religious in a way that is elementary, profound and alive.

I’m actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender.

Our faith is released as we say, pray and do the Word.

Do you not realize that the love the Father bestowed on the perfect Christ He now bestows on you?

As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.

I reject any religious doctrine that does not appeal to reason and is in conflict with morality.

Religion is just mind control.

I’m an atheist, and the concept of god for me is all part of what I call ‚the last illusion.‘ The last illusion is someone knows what is going on. Nearly everyone has that illusion somewhere, and it manifests not only in the terms of the idea that there is a god but that it knows what’s going on but that the planets know what’s going on.

I’m completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

Real Christianity can be summed up in two commands: Love God, and love people.

Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.

My family was a poor farming family, and we lived under absolute segregation.

As you pray for the Holy Spirit to make you aware of thoughts that come into your mind that don’t line up with God’s Word, you’ll begin to realize when those thoughts come and you can renew your mind with the Word.

I’m an atheist.

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.

I’m trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it – I think that’s important.

I believe many people feel like God is mad at them.

Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.

If there is no God, everything is permitted.

I respect the fact that many denominations have different points of view with respect to gay marriage and they can hold that in the sanctity in the place of their religion and not bless them or solemnize them.

There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.

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.

You notice how liberals keep saying, ‚If only Islam would have a Reformation‘ – it can’t have one. It says it can’t. It’s extremely dangerous in that way.

It is perfectly possible to live a very moral life without a belief in God, and I think it’s perfectly possible to live a life peppered with ill-doing and believe in God.

I am a nuclear physicist by training and a deeply committed Christian. I don’t have any doubt in my own mind about God who created the entire universe. But I don’t adhere to passages that so and so was created 4,000 years before Christ, and things of that kind.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God.

I hate to see complacency prevail in our lives when it’s so directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.

If you see oppression of the poor, and justice and righteousness trampled in a country, do not be astounded.

If you or I fail at business, we fail. If we cheat and fail, we go to jail. But if you’re rich and politically connected, your incompetence may be protected by a government bailout.

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

I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

If you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it’s not religion, but you can train through education.

One’s own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one’s Maker and no one else’s.

I don’t think I’ve ever been an agnostic. I’ve always thought there’s a superior power, that this is not the real world and that there’s a world to come.

In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.

Only God who made us can touch us and change us and save us from ourselves.

Let us all remember this: one cannot proclaim the Gospel of Jesus without the tangible witness of one’s life.

The U.S. is off the spectrum in religious commitment.

God is not upset that Gandhi was not a Christian, because God is not a Christian! All of God’s children and their different faiths help us to realize the immensity of God.

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