My political ideas and things like that even my religion I try to keep close to me because it's a personal thing and I don't shove it down people's throats. I don't condemn any artist that wants to do that like the Baldwins. That's their choice. But in my world I'm just an entertainer.

I am an atheist and if an atheist and a pope think the same things there must be something true. There must be some human truth that is beyond religion.

Religion has become so many different things. Religion is an economic thing for some people. Religion is a gun.

There's no reason to bring religion into it. I think we ought to have as great a regard for religion as we can so as to keep it out of as many things as possible.

I think we have to believe in things we don't see. That's really important for all of us whether it's your religion or Santa Claus or whatever. That's pretty much what it's about.

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.

I've had trouble now and again in Nigeria because I have spoken up about the mistreatment of factions in the country because of difference in religion. These are things we should put behind us.

I've found a more personal pagan kind of religion to satisfy the spiritual side of things.

The difference between religion and morality lies simply in the classical division of things into the divine and the human if one only interprets this correctly.

I don't think Romney is wacky at all but religion makes intelligent people say and do wacky things believe and affirm crazy things. Left on his own Romney would never have said something like the Garden Of Eden was in Missouri and will be again.
