It appears to be in the nature of religion itself to be prejudiced against those who are different.

The first act of religion therefore concerns those things which are communicated to us from God. The other concerns those things which we yield to God.

All the different nations in the world despite their differences of appearance and religion and language and way of life still have one thing in common and that is what's inside of all of us. If we X-rayed the insides of different human beings we wouldn't be able to tell from those X-rays what the person's language or background or race is.

Those among them that have not received our religion do not fright any from it and use none ill that goes over to it so that all the while I was there one man was only punished on this occasion.

Genius without religion is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace it may serve to cast a gleam of light on those that are without while the inhabitant sits in darkness.

It is then by those shadows of the hoary Past and their fantastic silhouettes on the external screen of every religion and philosophy that we can by checking them as we go along and comparing them trace out finally the body that produced them.

Religion oh just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.

I was 21 in 1968 so I'm as much a child of the '60s as is possible to be. In those years the subject of religion had really almost disappeared the idea that religion was going to be a major force in the life of our societies in the West anyway would have seemed absurd in 1968.

More than this even in those white men who professed religion we found much inconsistency of conduct. They spoke much of spiritual things while seeking only the material.

Religion which lays so many restraints upon us is a troublesome companion to those who will lay no restraints upon themselves.
