"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
"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
"Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company."
Mark Twain
"Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn."
Fulton J. Sheen
"I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love."
Henry Ward Beecher
"I think vital religion has always suffered when orthodoxy is more regarded than virtue. The scriptures assure me that at the last day we shall not be examined on what we thought but what we did."
Benjamin Franklin
"If God has created us in His image, we have more than returned the compliment."
Francois Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
"If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion."
Edmond and Jules de Goncourt
"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
"India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion, other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire."
Mark Twain
"Is one religion as good as another? Is one horse in the Derby as good as another?"
GK Chesterton
"It has been often said, very truly, that religion is the thing that makes the ordinary man feel extraordinary; it is an equally important truth that religion is the thing that makes the extraordinary man feel ordinary."
GK Chesterton
"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
"It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow."
Calvin Coolidge
"It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion."
Albert Einstein
"My mind is my own church."
Thomas Paine
"Nobody can have the consolations of religion or philosophy unless he has first experienced their desolations."
Aldous Huxley
"Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference."
Edmund Burke
"Of all bad men religious bad men are the worst."
C.S. Lewis
"Of the delights of this world man cares most for sexual intercourse, yet he has left it out of his heaven."
Mark Twain
