Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “If ... we admit a divinity, why not divine worship? and if worship, why not religion to teach this worship? and if a religion, why not the Christian, if a better cannot be assigned, and it be already established by the laws of our country, and handed down to us from our forefathers?”
    —George Berkeley (1685–1753)

    “This religion takes away the courage of thinking of unusual things and prohibits self-examination above all as the most egregious of sins.... It is one step away from protestantism.”
    —Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)

    “... the average Catholic perceives no connection between religion and morality, unless it is a question of someone else’s morality.”
    —Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
