Religion Quotes

Without the restraints of religion and social worship, men become savages much sooner than savages become civilized by means of religion and civil government Picture Quote #1

At the heart of our public morality is the idea that he who gives generously is most virtuous and morally praiseworthy; that there is no greater citizen than she who sacrifices; and that there is no greater measure of worth than contribution. These are values we can be proud of. After all, there is no moral system or religion on earth where the guiding ethic is grab more for yourself Picture Quote #1

I cannot sufficiently be astonished that such is the insanity of some men, such the impiety of their blinded understanding, such, finally, their lust after error, that they will not be content with the rule of faith delivered once and for all from antiquity, but must daily seek after something new, and even newer still, and are always longing to add something to religion, or to change it, or to subtract from it! Picture Quote #1

Religion is the most fragile of all freedoms. And that’s because it is the most threatening to those in power Picture Quote #1

Marriage can be a religious thing. It can also be a secular thing. And guess what? Not everyone in the world is of the same religion. Preventing gay people from getting married is not an expression of religious freedom. It’s an expression of religious oppression Picture Quote #1

We walk, and our religion is shown even to the dullest and most insensitive person in how we walk. Or to put it more accurately, living in this world means choosing, choosing to walk, and the way we choose to walk is infallibly and perfectly expressed in the walk itself. Nothing can disguise it. The walk of an ordinary man and of an enlightened man are as different as that of a snake and a giraffe Picture Quote #1

I am no lover of pompous title, but only desire that my name may be recorded in a line or two, which shall briefly express my name, my virginity, the years of my reign, the reformation of religion under it, and my preservation of peace Picture Quote #1

Answering a letter from a church asking what else they should try after having failed to raise enough money on bake sales, bazaars, suppers, etc. Why not try religion? Picture Quote #1

I don’t see why religion and science can’t cooperate. What’s wrong with using a computer to count our blessings? Picture Quote #1

Any and all religions are real, the genuine article, to their practitioners. There can never be one religion, prophet, or savior that will satisfy all six billion humans. Each of us must find our ideal way to attune with deity Picture Quote #1

It matters not whether you win the race or not but that you cross the finish line with a smile and a bit of a laugh. Stress does not come from having too much on your plate. Stress comes from labeling too many of those things as very important. Discussing religion, no matter how in depth the discussion, should never be confused with actually practicing that religion Picture Quote #1

As a singer, I’ve had many opportunities to travel, and one thing I’ve learned is that through my music, I can be accepted by people all over the world. I often wonder why so many of us can’t accept people who are different here, in our country? It’s just not fair to be prejudiced against those whose race, religion or colour aren’t the same as ours Picture Quote #1

In matters of religion, it is very easy to deceive a man and very hard to undeceive him Picture Quote #1

Spiritual means religion without any rules. It’s all the comfort of fictitious friends with none of their demands Picture Quote #1

You think religion is what’s inside a little building filled with pretty lights from stained glass windows. But it’s not. It’s wings! Wings! Picture Quote #1

In religion faith does not spring out of feeling, but feeling out of faith. The less we feel the more we should trust. We cannot feel right till we have believed Picture Quote #1

Religion is an idea, and, as an idea, it should be eligible for criticism, discussion, and yes, mockery. The only reason so many believers demand special exceptions be made for religious ideas is because they know full well that their ideas don’t hold up well under scrutiny Picture Quote #1

When religion becomes artificial, art has a duty to rescue it. Art can show that the symbols which religions would have us believe literally true are actually figurative. Art can idealize those symbols, and so reveal the profound truths they contain Picture Quote #1

There was a time, when I blamed my companion if his religion did not resemble mine. Now, however, my heart accepts every form... Love alone is my religion Picture Quote #1

While anyone who practices a religion has the right to their own religious truths, it doesn’t give them the right to violate the welfare of another human or an animal. So, where necessary, it is the task of the government to intervene and curb the freedom of religion Picture Quote #1

Shambhala vision is universal. It has no bias towards one type of culture or group. It is not ethnocentric and does not encourage one specific kind of person, race, or religion. Shambhala vision promotes a universality in relationship to basic goodness. All human beings are basically good and an enlightened society, at various levels of manifestation, can occur in any culture Picture Quote #1

Science provides tangible evidence of its accuracy and importance. Religion makes excuses for its absence of the same Picture Quote #1

I’m grateful for believing in a religion that can naturally adapt to changing times yet uphold timeless values and principles Picture Quote #1

History has shown us that it’s not religion that’s the problem, but any system of thought that insists that one group of people are inviolably in the right, whereas the others are in the wrong and must somehow be punished Picture Quote #1

Religion is interesting because it brings out the best and the worst in humanity. It can be a source of good deeds, whether it’s people from different spiritual backgrounds coming together to help other people in need after a crisis. But it’s also a cause for war and bloodshed Picture Quote #1

Religion is an act of sedition against reason. Whatever religion is most seductive and likely to draw in victims to surrender their skepticism is the worst Picture Quote #1

Science proposes something and then does everything it can to disprove it. Religion is not like that. It proposes something and does everything it can to keep it from being disproved Picture Quote #1

You must test your own religious claims and texts by the same standards you apply to other religions. If your religion’s claims and texts fair no better, then your religion is just as false as theirs is Picture Quote #1

Have you ever observed somebody go through a religious conversion? The person seems perfectly reasonable to you and has no particular concern for religion. Then a parent, friend or child dies or he gets a serious illness or is involved in a car accident. In just a matter of weeks, he seeks out and finds the answers to all of life’s questions and starts studying and spouting all sorts of doctrine. During such a window of vulnerability, religion can commandeer a person’s brain Picture Quote #1

Religion may indeed inspire acts of great kindness and courage. But it also trains people to believe things for which there is no evidence. This makes religion’s intrusion into the political sphere all the more troubling Picture Quote #1
