If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences.
H. P. Lovecraft
Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life.
Paul Tillich
The earth is the Lord's fullness thereof: this is no longer a hollow dictum of religion, but a directive for economic action toward human brotherhood.
Lewis Mumford
The three great elements of modern civilization, Gun powder, Printing, and the Protestant religion.
Thomas Carlyle
The first time I sang in the church choir; two hundred people changed their religion.
Fred Allen
Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.
George Will
I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher, every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion, no political party, and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: 'Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.
Neale Donald Walsch
Each religion, by the help of more or less myth, which it takes more or less seriously, proposes some method of fortifying the human soul and enabling it to make its peace with its destiny.
George Santayana
Religion in its humility restores man to his only dignity, the courage to live by grace.
George Santayana
Wealth, religion, military victory have more rhetorical than efficacious worth.
George Santayana
The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world... to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
John Ruskin
You might sooner get lightning out of incense smoke than true action or passion out of your modern English religion.
John Ruskin
To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.
John Ruskin
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.
Charles Baudelaire
Even if it were proven that God didn't exist, Religion would still be Saintly and Divine.
Charles Baudelaire
There is no cure for the pride of a virtuous nation but pure religion.
Reinhold Niebuhr
When Religion and Royalty are swept away, the people will attack the great, and after the great, they will fall upon the rich.
Honore de Balzac
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.
Honore de Balzac
All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.
Honore de Balzac
