Those of us who were brought up as Christians and have lost our faith have retained the sense of sin without the saving belief in redemption. This poisons our thought and so paralyses us in action.

True faith is belief in the reality of absolute values.

My faith is very private to me. It plays an important part in my life but I do not try and throw my beliefs at others. I have tremendous respect for all faiths and beliefs but have a deep concern that religion and faith are currently a long way apart from each other.

In religious and in secular affairs the more fervent beliefs attract followers. If you are a moderate in any respect - if you're a moderate on abortion if you're a moderate on gun control or if you're a moderate in your religious faith - it doesn't evolve into a crusade where you're either right or wrong good or bad with us or against us.

Obedience is an act of faith disobedience is the result of unbelief.

That willing suspension of disbelief for the moment which constitutes poetic faith.

Faith is much better than belief. Belief is when someone else does the thinking.

Talk unbelief and you will have unbelief but talk faith and you will have faith. According to the seed sown will be the harvest.

Faith: Belief without evidence in what is told by one who speaks without knowledge of things without parallel.

If children understand that beliefs should be substantiated with evidence as opposed to tradition authority revelation or faith they will automatically work out for themselves that they are atheists.
