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

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

Religion is just mind control.

It is well known that the Soviet Union closely regulates all organizations and movements, including religion.

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

Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community.

Seemingly, man has learned to live without God, preoccupied and indifferent toward Him and concerned only about material security and pleasure.

Let not a libation of tears be the only offering at the shrine of Jesus; let us also rejoice with joy unspeakable. If we have need to lament our sin, how much more to rejoice at our pardon!

I do not concern myself with gods and spirits either good or evil nor do I serve any.

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.

A Christian who does not pray for those who govern is not a good Christian.

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 moral systems of religion, I think, are super important.

Religion is not a department of life; it is something that enters into the whole of it.

Religion, born of the earth’s need for the disclosing of a god, is related to and co-extensive with not the individual man, but the whole of mankind.

Everywhere I go I find that people… both leaders and individuals… are asking one basic question, ‚Is there any hope for the future?‘ My answer is the same, ‚Yes, through Jesus Christ.‘

God always wants us to be growing.

For my part, it was Greek to me.

There are many levels of Christianity. There are many notions about God. To believe that God is a person is just one of the notions of God that you can find in Christianity. So, we should not say that there is one Christianity. There are many Christianities.

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

I ain’t here to argue about his facial features. Or here to convert atheists into believers. I’m just trying to say the way school need teachers the way Kathie Lee needed Regis that’s the way yall need Jesus.

I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don’t think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don’t baptize the children of single mothers because they weren’t conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today’s hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

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

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

I’m an atheist and I thank God for it.

What the world requires of the Christians is that they should continue to be Christians.

I once wanted to become an atheist, but I gave up – they have no holidays.

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

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts, the seed of holiness is planted.

The people of God want pastors, not clergy acting like bureaucrats or government officials.

Religion is the opium of the masses.

Salvation and Christ’s love is a gift. You don’t earn it. You’ve got to receive that gift.

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

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

For ninety per cent of those who view him from outside, the Christian God looks like a great landowner administering his estates, the world. Now this conventional picture, which is too well justified by appearances, corresponds in no way to the dogmatic basis or point of view of the Gospels.

It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.

A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.

Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.

I don’t think that the total creation took place in six days as we now measure time. If we can confirm, say, the Big Bang theory, that doesn’t at all cause me to question my faith that God created the Big Bang.

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

It’s one thing to be religious, but it’s another thing to make religion your policy.

Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate kindness and compassion.

God’s love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.

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.

For those of you who do not know Him, choosing your eternal home is the most important decision you will ever make.

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.

My religion encompasses all religions. I believe in God, I believe in the universe. I believe you are god, I believe I am god; I believe the earth is god and the universe is god. We’re all god.

My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

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

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There’s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

Tell me: when God looks at a gay person, does he endorse the existence of this person with love, or reject and condemn this person?… It is necessary to accompany them with mercy.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

After it is all over, the religion of man is his most important possession.

I was reared in the church, in the Presbyterian Church.

I did study religion for a little while. I studied the Torah and the Holy Koran, Helios Biblos, which is considered by most people to be the Holy Bible. I just wanted to know, even with Buddhism and the Dalai Llama.

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

Such is the feebleness of humanity, such is its perversity, that doubtless it is better for it to be subject to all possible superstitions, as long as they are not murderous, than to live without religion.

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

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

A beautiful homily, a genuine sermon, must begin with the first proclamation, with the proclamation of salvation. There is nothing more solid, deep and sure than this proclamation.
