Best Quotes about Religion

1.
Religion is like holding on to a rock in the middle of a raging river; faith is learning how to swim.

2.
Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.
Gurdjieff, George

3.
We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer.
Hugo, Victor

4.
Religion is the dream of the human mind. But even in dreams we do not find ourselves in emptiness or in heaven, but on earth, in the realm of reality; we only see real things in the entrancing splendor of imagination and caprice, instead of in the simple daylight of reality and necessity.
Feuerbach, Ludwig

5.
There is nothing more innately human than the tendency to transmute what has become customary into what has been divinely ordained.
Lafollette, Suzanne

6.
Our knowledge of the historical worth of certain religious doctrines increases our respect for them, but does not invalidate our proposal that they should cease to be put forward as the reasons for the precepts of civilization. On the contrary! Those historical residues have helped us to view religious teachings, as it were, as neurotic relics, and we may now argue that the time has probably come, as it does in an analytic treatment, for replacing the effects of repression by the results of the rational operation of the intellect.
Freud, Sigmund

7.
Toleration is the best religion.
Hugo, Victor

8.
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
H. L. Mencken

9.
I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but innocence.
Marlowe, Christopher

10.
Religion, oh, just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.
Pound, Ezra

11.
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
Religion is love; in no case is it logic.
Webb, Beatrice Potter

13.
Everybody likes to go their own way--to choose their own time and manner of devotion.
Jane Austen

14.
The true meaning of religion is thus not simply morality, but morality touched by emotion.
Matthew Arnold

15.
All the sweetness of religion is conveyed to the world by the hands of story-tellers and image-makers. Without their fictions the truths of religion would for the multitude be neither intelligible nor even apprehensible; and the prophets would prophesy and the teachers teach in vain.
Shaw, George Bernard

16.
For it is with the mysteries of our religion, as with wholesome pills for the sick, which swallowed whole, have the virtue to cure; but chewed, are for the most part cast up again without effect.
Hobbes, Thomas

17.
Never confuse the faith with the supposedly faithful.
Randy K. Milholland

18.
Whatever God's dream about man may be, it seems certain it cannot come true unless man cooperates.
Stella Terrill Mann

19.
Religion is the opium of the masses.
Marx, Karl

20.
I won't take my religion from any man who never works except with his mouth.
Carl Sandburg

21.
Rational arguments don't usually work on religious people. Otherwise, there wouldn't be religious people.
Doris Egan

22.
A good test of a man's religion is its vitality.

23.
Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.
Pascal, Blaise

24.
It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing.
D. H. Lawrence

25.
Culture's essential service to a religion is to destroy intellectual idolatry, the recurrent tendency in religion to replace the object of its worship with its present understanding and forms of approach to that object.
Frye, Northrop

26.
Religion is a temper, not a pursuit.
Martineau, Harriet

27.
A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.
Lawrence, D. H.

28.
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Marx, Karl

29.
A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.
James Feibleman

30.
All religions have based morality on obedience, that is to say, on voluntary slavery. That is why they have always been more pernicious than any political organization. For the latter makes use of violence, the former -- of the corruption of the will.
Herzen, Alexander

31.
For a truly religious man nothing is tragic.
Wittgenstein, Ludwig

32.
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

33.
Clergymen have much the same in their breeches as other men.
Elizabeth Aston

34.
My religion? Well, my dear, I am a Millionaire. That is my religion.
Shaw, George Bernard

35.
It will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation.
Jane Austen

36.
The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.
Oscar Wilde

37.
I think that the leaf of a tree, the meanest insect on which we trample, are in themselves arguments more conclusive than any which can be adduced that some vast intellect animates Infinity.
Shelley, Percy Bysshe

38.
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.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

39.
Don't try to tear down other people's religion about their ears, Build up your own perfect structure of truth, and invite your listeners to enter in and enjoy it's glories.
Young, Brigham

40.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
Bakunin, Mikhail

41.
But is it not the fact that religion emanates from the nature, from the moral state of the individual? Is it not therefore true that unless the nature be completely exercised, the moral state harmonized, the religion cannot be healthy?
Martineau, Harriet

42.
My mom grew up in Spanish Harlem and the Bronx and gave me an invaluable piece of advice for dealing with people in New York - if someoneÆs bugging you just act crazy. IÆve modified her approach somewhat. Public displays of religiosity work just as well as feigning psychosis.
Waiter Rant

43.
When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion.
Abraham Lincoln

44.
If religion is only human, and its form is man's form, it follows that everything in religion is true.
Chartier, Emile-Auguste

45.
I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious -- except he purposely shut the eyes of his mind and keep them shut by force.
Twain, Mark

46.
The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending, then having the two as close together as possible.
George Burns

47.
Religions are the cradles of despotism.
Sade, Marquis De

48.
And lips say God be pitiful, who never said, God be praised.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett

49.
Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
Bierce, Ambrose

50.
It is certain that if you would have the whole secret of a people, you must enter into the intimacy of their religion.
Quinet, Edgar
