My philosophy is that the most important aspect of any religion should be human kindness. And to try to ease the suffering of others. To try to bring light and love into the lives of mankind.
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.
Another important historical factor is the fact that this already very simple religion was further simplified and purified by the early philosophers of ancient China. Our first great philosopher was a founder of naturalism and our second great philosopher was an agnostic.
There is no religion in which everyday life is not considered a prison there is no philosophy or ideology that does not think that we live in alienation.
Do not imagine that what we have said of the insufficiency of our understanding and of its limited extent is an assertion founded only on the Bible: for philosophers likewise assert the same and perfectly understand it - without having regard to any religion or opinion.
Religion and philosophy philosophy and religion - they're two words which are both... different. In spelling.
I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
To become a popular religion it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy.
No philosophy no religion has ever brought so glad a message to the world as this good news of Atheism.
Religion is doing a man does not merely think his religion or feel it he lives his religion as much as he is able otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.
