I am utterly struck how 300 years after his execution Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire.

There are a lot of Grinches out there that would like nothing better than to take any references to religion out of the holiday season.

The American way was for commerce personal relationships and religion to be voluntary. No one was forced to participate in something he didn't want.

I believe that there is some spiritual entity that's greater than us. I do not belong to any specific organized religion. I have always believed that and I believe it even more so now. I believe that someone was listening to me and someone is giving me an incredibly blessed life.

It was during my time at secondary school that I abandoned religion.

It was a real surprise to me to come across the evidence that Christianity might once have been a danced religion. Certainly some of the early church leaders thought this was great and spoke of what seems to have been circle dancing perhaps around an altar.

We first fought the heathens in the name of religion then Communism and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change.

Existentialism is about being a saint without God being your own hero without all the sanction and support of religion or society.

Religion's in the heart not in the knees.

So much about religion has to do with rigid sacrosanct preciousness. I don't live my life that way and I don't feel that's what Baha'u'llah teaches.
