"Religion is essentially the art and the theory of the remaking of man. Man is not a finished creation."
Edmund Burke
"If these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. Hence both the necessity, and the perennial danger, of 'religion.'"
C.S. Lewis
"Religion is all bunk."
Thomas Edison
"Of the delights of this world man cares most for sexual intercourse, yet he has left it out of his heaven."
Mark Twain
"Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference."
Edmund Burke
"Is one religion as good as another? Is one horse in the Derby as good as another?"
GK Chesterton
"It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion."
Albert Einstein
"Being religious means asking passionately the question of the meaning of our existence and being willing to receive answers, even if the answers hurt."
Paul Tillich
"If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion."
Edmond and Jules de Goncourt
"If God has created us in His image, we have more than returned the compliment."
Francois Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
"India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion, other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire."
Mark Twain
"Though it is very important for man as an individual that his religion should be true, that is not the case for society. Society has nothing to fear or hope from another life; what is most important for it is not that all citizens profess the true religion but that they should profess religion."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"The main business of religions is to purify, control, and restrain that excessive and exclusive taste for well-being which men acquire in times of equality."
Alexis de Tocqueville
"It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow."
Calvin Coolidge
"Ethical religion can be real only to those who are engaged in ceaseless efforts at moral improvement. By moving upward we acquire faith in an upward movement, without limit."
Felix Adler
