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

It ain’t those parts of the Bible that I can’t understand that bother me, it is the parts that I do understand.

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

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

Ritual will always mean throwing away something: destroying our corn or wine upon the altar of our gods.

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

Isn’t it amazing that we are all made in God’s image, and yet there is so much diversity among his people?

I believe that God has planted in every heart the desire to live in freedom.

Now, God be praised, that to believing souls gives light in darkness, comfort in despair.

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods.

The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom.

We are not at war against Islam.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

Puny man can do nothing at all to help or please God Almighty, and Luck is not the hand of God.

Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.

But for my faith in God, I should have been a raving maniac.

He who doesn’t pray to the Lord prays to the devil.

Questioning my spiritual life has always been germane to what I was writing. Always. It’s because I’m not quite an atheist and it worries me. There’s that little bit that holds on: ‚Well, I’m almost an atheist. Give me a couple of months.‘

Spending time with God through prayer and His Word is a prerequisite for having a great life and fulfilling your purpose.

I care not much for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

I’m a Christian by choice.

Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.

You can either be a host to God, or a hostage to your ego. It’s your call.

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.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

There is not a separate God for each person. There is one universal intelligence flowing through all of us.

God’s mercy and grace give me hope – for myself, and for our world.

Religions get lost as people do.

If one has the answers to all the questions – that is the proof that God is not with him. It means that he is a false prophet using religion for himself. The great leaders of the people of God, like Moses, have always left room for doubt. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties; we must be humble.

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.

Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man?

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.

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

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

The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.

I have learned from personal experience that putting trust in God means there will be some unanswered questions. That was a hard lesson for me because I naturally want to understand everything… to know what’s going on so I can feel like I’m in control.

I know that I’ve been guided by God. I am obedient.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

Justice that love gives is a surrender, justice that law gives is a punishment.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life, your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!

Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think.

I always ask God to work through me and let me be a light of some kind and help in this world, so I always pray for that, and I always want to do good.

There was something undifferentiated and yet complete, which existed before Heaven and Earth. Soundless and formless, it depends on nothing and does not change. It operates everywhere and is free from danger. It may be considered the mother of the universe. I do not know its name; I call it Tao.

Religion is more than life. Remember that his own religion is the truest to every man even if it stands low in the scales of philosophical comparison.

I want to be just a pure spiritual leader.

You know, God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

All the goodness I have within me is totally from the Lord alone. When I sin, it is from me and is done on my own, but when I act righteously, it is wholly and completely of God.

Don’t be misled by those who claim God doesn’t exist, because He does.

Find new ways to spread the word of God to every corner of the world.

What is the Tao Te Ching? Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of existence.

I serve God.

The incomparable greatness of the religions of the East lies in their having been second to none in vibrating with the passion for unity. This note, which is essential to every form of mysticism, has even penetrated them so deeply that we find ourselves falling under a spell simply by uttering the names of their Gods.

I do put a lot of God in my music, but not because I’m super religious. There are a lot of demons in my music, too. I acknowledge both.

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

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

We often want one thing and pray for another, not telling the truth even to the gods.

There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

I think Buddhism should open the door of psychology and healing to penetrate more easily into the Western world.
