I do not believe in the God of theology who rewards good and punishes evil.

I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek – I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.

I believe that a government has only one religion – India first. A government has only one holy book – our Constitution. A government has only one kind of devotion – towards nation.

Every man prefers belief to the exercise of judgment.

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.

God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.

When men do not have healthy notions of the Divinity, false ideas supplant them, just as in bad times one uses counterfeit money when there is no good money.

Life is a gamble. You can get hurt, but people die in plane crashes, lose their arms and legs in car accidents; people die every day. Same with fighters: some die, some get hurt, some go on. You just don’t let yourself believe it will happen to you.

Start your week off right by getting back to what is really important – honoring God.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive.

I am a Christian. That obliges me to be a Communist.

To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.

Laws control the lesser man… Right conduct controls the greater one.

The violence in the Bible is appalling.

The God who existed before any religion counts on you to make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.

I don’t think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way, and maybe I believed them a little.

I’ve been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that’s kind of a religious belief. I mean, it’s at least a moral belief.

No man is justified in doing evil on the ground of expedience.

I am a Catholic because I choose to be a Catholic. And then I go to the Mass because I choose. It is out of my free will.

Religion is compulsory in English schools, you know.

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

All I know is that, thanks to a sort of habit which has always been ingrained in me, I have never, at any moment of my life, experienced the least difficulty in addressing myself to God as to a supreme Someone.

Superstition is the religion of feeble minds.

Every man who attacks my belief, diminishes in some degree my confidence in it, and therefore makes me uneasy; and I am angry with him who makes me uneasy.

Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.

Whatsoever is, is in God, and without God nothing can be, or be conceived.

I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don’t trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

My religion teaches me that whenever there is distress which one cannot remove, one must fast and pray.

For me to talk with Obama and the conversation I had with him, I was letting him know that me and my fans have a special connection, and it’s love, and I believe that love is the answer.

Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, ‚Hey, I did my religious duty.‘ That’s fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you’re talking to God. Even if it’s in your thoughts.

Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.

I believe in only one thing: liberty; but I do not believe in liberty enough to want to force it upon anyone.

Why is it that although it takes us years to get into our messes, we expect God to get us out of them in a few days?

To you I’m an atheist; to God, I’m the Loyal Opposition.

God, as Truth, has been for me a treasure beyond price. May He be so to every one of us.

There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.

Saints should always be judged guilty until they are proved innocent.

The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year.

I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood.

I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.

Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.

If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that… I believe in what I do, and I’ll say it.

How is it possible for someone who believes that the world was created in six days to have a rational conversation with me, who doesn’t believe that, about other possibilities?

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

Was Jesus the son of God? Yes. But so are you. You just haven’t realized it yet.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, what you have or don’t have, what you lack, or what you have too much of. But all you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.

Well, I’ll put it this way: you can certainly say belief in God makes people behave worse. That can be proved beyond a doubt.

Evil is whatever distracts.

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

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

If a work of art is rich and vital and complete, those who have artistic instincts will see its beauty, and those to whom ethics appeal more strongly than aesthetics will see its moral lesson. It will fill the cowardly with terror, and the unclean will see in it their own shame.
