The Muslims have as everyone else says the right to practice their religion and they have the right to construct a mosque at ground zero if they wish. What I am saying though is that they should listen to public opinion they should listen to the deep wounds and anguish that this is causing to so many good people.

My view of social media is that it is a set of tools not a religion.

I think there's been a big problem between religion or organized religion and spirituality.

The true meaning of religion is thus not simply morality but morality touched by emotion.

The world is my country science is my religion.

Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are.

Man is the religious animal. He is the only one that's got true religion several of them.

When I'm not writing I read loads of fiction but I've been writing quite constantly lately so I've been reading a lot of nonfiction - philosophy religion science history social or cultural studies.

I think that we are at a point in our country where we're trying to decide what role should religion play in the political arena.

God expects from men something more than at such times and that it were much to be wished for the credit of their religion as well as the satisfaction of their conscience that their Easter devotions would in some measure come up to their Easter dress.
