Quotations
Quote of the Day

I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for religion - I have shuddered at it. I shudder no more - I could be martyred for my religion - Love is my religion - I could die for that.
View quotes by John Keats

Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
View quotes by Albert Einstein

It is now several months since I promised to give you my reasons for preferring the Bible as a schoolbook to all other compositions. Before I state my arguments, I shall assume the five following propositions:

1 . That Christianity is the only true and perfect religion; and that in proportion as mankind adopts its principles and obeys its precepts they will be wise and happy.

2. That a better knowledge of this religion is to be acquired by reading the Bible than in any other way.

3. That the Bible contains more knowledge necessary to man in his present state than any other book in the world.

4. That knowledge is most durable, and religious instruction most useful, when imparted in early life.

5. That the Bible, when not read in schools, is seldom read in any subsequent period of life.
- Benjamin Rush, Essays, pp. 93-113, 'A Defence of the Use of the Bible as a School Book'.
View quotes by Benjamin Rush

Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.
View quotes by Steven Weinberg

Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.

View quotes by Pope John Paul II

Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.
View quotes by Thomas Szasz

Religion can never reform mankind because religion is slavery.
View quotes by Robert G Ingersoll

We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion.

View quotes by T S Eliot

Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.
View quotes by Epictetus

A union of government and religion tends to destroy government and degrade religion.
View quotes by Hugo Black

By our form of government, the Christian religion is the established religion; and all sects and denominations of Christians are placed upon the same equal footing, and are equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty.
View quotes by Samuel Chase

In the middle ages people were tourists because of their religion, whereas now they are tourists because tourism is their religion.
View quotes by Robert Runcie

Catholicism is not a soothing religion. It's a painful religion. We're all gluttons for punishment.
View quotes by Madonna Ciccone

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.
View quotes by Celine Dion

Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition.
View quotes by Alan Turing

'If you're writing songs, there are two things that you just don't write about: politics and religion. We write about both.'
View quotes by Bono

Operationally, God is beginning to resemble not a ruler but the last fading smile of a cosmic Cheshire cat. (Religion without Revelation, 1957)
View quotes by Sir Julian Huxley

To become a popular religion, it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy. (Idea of Progress)
View quotes by William Ralph Inge

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side
View quotes by Aristotle

The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one.
View quotes by David Hume
