There is no surer sign of decay in a country than to see the rites of religion held in contempt.

Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.

I don’t know which will go first – rock ‚n‘ roll or Christianity.

To say that you can kill in the name of God is blasphemy.

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 don’t let my religious world get too complicated.

I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world.

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

Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ can be bolstered as we learn about Him and live our religion. The doctrine of Jesus Christ was designed by the Lord to help us increase our faith.

Our country is that spot to which our heart is bound.

Whoever seeks to set one religion against another seeks to destroy all religion.

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

To Follow by faith alone is to follow blindly.

I am worrying about my country. I feel I have a responsibility as a novelist to do something.

No religion has mandated killing others as a requirement for its sustenance or promotion.

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

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

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.

Constant exposure to dangers will breed contempt for them.

If a man reaches the heart of his own religion, he has reached the heart of the others, too. There is only one God, and there are many paths to him.

Well look, I mean, I think that prayer and holy water, and things like that are all fine. They don’t do any good, but they don’t necessarily do any harm. It’s touching to be thought of in that way. It makes up for those who tell me that I’ve got my just desserts.

I think, for years, people have been pushed down by religion, and I don’t say that disrespectfully, but they’ve been shown a God that you can’t measure up to.

The truths of religion are never so well understood as by those who have lost the power of reason.

It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

I aspire my country eventually has a league where all players play 50 games.

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

Each one prays to God according to his own light.

All religions have been made by men.

Union of religious sentiments begets a surprising confidence.

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

It’s always interesting about God because it’s like all of the religions in the world say that they pray to the same God, and yet they ask that same one God to divide itself up and agree with this one and fight against that one.

To the man who reads ‚Scouting for Boys‘ superficially, there is a disappointing lack of religion in the book. But to him who tries it in practice, the basic religion underlying it soon becomes apparent.

If we must not act save on a certainty, we ought not to act on religion, for it is not certain. But how many things we do on an uncertainty, sea voyages, battles!

America is the greatest country in the world.

I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.

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

It’s not a coincidence that in the Scriptures, poverty is mentioned more than 2,100 times. It’s not an accident. That’s a lot of air time, 2,100 mentions.

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.

The most powerful idea that’s entered the world in the last few thousand years – the idea of grace – is the reason I would like to be a Christian.

If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.

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

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?

I answer only to God.

It is possible that mankind is on the threshold of a golden age; but, if so, it will be necessary first to slay the dragon that guards the door, and this dragon is religion.

Man is not born to atheism. He is born to believe.

My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place.

I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.

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

We are not at war against Islam.

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

I read the ‚Old Testament‘ all the way through when I was about 13 and was horrified. A few months afterwards I read ‚The Origin Of Species‘, hallucinating very mildly because I was in bed with flu at the time. Despite that, or because of that, it all made perfect sense.

Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts.

I find the whole business of religion profoundly interesting. But it does mystify me that otherwise intelligent people take it seriously.

A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.

The uniform makes for brotherhood, since when universally adopted it covers up all differences of class and country.

The United States is not, and never will be, at war with Islam.

I believe in God – not in a Catholic God; there is no Catholic God. There is God, and I believe in Jesus Christ, his incarnation. Jesus is my teacher and my pastor, but God, the Father, Abba, is the light and the Creator. This is my Being.

To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

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