Famous quotes containing the word religious:

    “... religious experience, as we have studied it, cannot be cited as unequivocally supporting the infinitist belief. The only thing that it unequivocally testifies to is that we can experience union with something larger than ourselves and in that union find our greatest peace.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “And when religious sects ran mad,
    He held, in spite of all his learning,
    That if a man’s belief is bad,
    It will not be improved by burning.”
    —Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)

    “The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
