There is no doubt that religion had already waned under the onslaught of the Enlightenment but it was Freud who provided the radically new understanding of human nature that made any religious explanation of the whats and whys of our personhood seem naive.

Human nature doesn't include all human beings. There are human beings who are indifferent to politics religion virtually anything.

We all dream. We dream vividly depending on our nature. Our existence is beyond our explanation whether we believe in God or we have religion or we're atheist.

I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation realizing we're all just part of nature.

When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go out and paint the stars.

There's no religion but sex and music.

Music is my religion.

My whole life has been movies and religion. That's it. Nothing else.

Movies are my religion and God is my patron. I'm lucky enough to be in the position where I don't make movies to pay for my pool. When I make a movie I want it to be everything to me like I would die for it.

You think that religion is a thing that is there to help you and to see you through life and then you wake up one morning and find the entire Irish situation the civil war that's based on religion.
