I did not want to reject religion as nonsense because life seemed to have no ultimate purpose without it and most of the good people I knew were Christians.

The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstition of the Christian religion.

It just so happens that the green religion is now taking over from the Christian religion. I don't think people have noticed that but it's got all the sort of terms that religions use... The greens use guilt. That just shows how religious greens are. You can't win people round by saying they are guilty for putting (carbon dioxide) in the air.

So much of religion is exegesis. I would rather follow in the footprints of Christ than all of the dogma.

Leftism seeks to undo most of the values that are distinct to Judeo-Christian religion.

Every fundamentalist movement I've studied in Judaism Christianity and Islam is convinced at some gut visceral level that secular liberal society wants to wipe out religion.

I love the idea of the teachings of Jesus Christ and the beautiful stories about it which I loved in Sunday school and I collected all the little stickers and put them in my book. But the reality is that organised religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate.

I never saw heard nor read that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular but some degree of persecution.

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.

But even in the Christian religion much of its real meaning is hidden by words that are misleading and symbols that but few understand.
