To repay evils with kindness is the religion I was taught to practise, and this will forever be my rule.

Our religion is itself profoundly sad - a religion of universal anguish, and one which, because of its very catholicity, grants full liberty to the individual and asks no better than to be celebrated in each man's own language - so long as he knows anguish and is a painter.

In course of time, religion came with its rites invoking the aid of good spirits which were even more powerful than the bad spirits, and thus for the time being tempered the agony of fears.

Man is ever searching for the source whence he has come, searching for the life which is upwelling within him, immortal, nay, eternal and divine; and every religion is the answer from the Universal Spirit to the seeking spirits of men that came forth from Him.

As Juan Gabriel, music is my religion, and mariachi is my devotion. And my songs are my prayers.

The Rosicrucians teach that all great religions have been given to the people among whom they are found, by Divine Intelligences who designed each system of worship to suit the needs of the race or nation to whom it was given. A primitive people cannot respond to a lofty and sublime religion, and vice versa.

We must assert to the Abrahamic people that we are the last extension of the Abrahamic religion... There is no such thing as an Islamic tribe.

Religion has been an important part of my understanding, my inquiry into what it means to be human.

When my kids were growing up, I wanted their teachers to teach them science, reading, math and history. I also wanted them to care about my kids. But I did not want my children's public school teachers teaching them religion. That was my job as a parent and the job of our church, Sunday school, and youth group.

I went through a lot of phases and studied many religions. I am not into religion, I am spiritual.

In a lot of Indian societies, spirituality has been lost, I think it's still the best way of looking at the world for Indians - better than any organized religion in this country.

My goal is never to make fun of religion.

When it came to religion, I felt I belonged to no one. It saddened me, it angered me, it confused me, and it made me religiously ambivalent. So I chose my calling: Cubs baseball.

I study religion because I find it fascinating and problematic. But I struggle with the idea of what religion is, what being religious means. A lot of people assume that if you write about early Christianity, you must be some kind of Sunday-school teacher.

We in Tunisia have no problem with respecting other people's religion, and we have a long tradition of that.

'Black Messiah' is a hell of a name for an album. It can easily be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's totally irrational, patently insane to condemn an entire race - to despise an entire nation - to vilify an entire religion.

Religion is like magic. It is all about tricks.

You're not free if you can't marry the person you love because a county clerk is imposing his or her interpretation of religion on you.

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.

I am utterly struck how, 300 years after his execution, Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire.

One's religion is one's own possession and he has a right to it.
