JUST SOME QUOTES ABOUT RELIGION:
ALBERT EINSTEIN:
All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom.
ALFRED NORTH WHITEHEAD:
Religion is what an individual does with his solitariness.
ANAIS NIN:
When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.
WILLIAM ROBERTSON SMITH:
Religion did not exist for the saving of souls but for the preservation and welfare of society, and in all that was necessary to this end every man had to take his part, or break with the domestic and political community to which he belonged.
WILLIAM JAMES:
Religion, whatever it is, is a man's total reaction upon life.
VOLTAIRE:
When it's a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.
VOLTAIRE:
If God did not exist it would be necessary for us to invent Him.
THOMAS JEFFERSON:
It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.
SIGMUND FREUD:
Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis.
ROBERT INGERSOLL:
Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little, that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed with these phantoms.
RICHARD FRANCIS BURTON:
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON:
The progress of religion is steadily to its identity with morals. Strength enters just as much as the moral element prevails.
PAUL TILLICH:
Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt.
