The point here is that physics followed the data where it seemed to lead even though some thought the model gave aid and comfort to religion.

I travel around the world experiencing every language every religion... some places where there's just no reason to smile because their lives are so difficult.

Then if your movie clicks with real audiences you'll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It's a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office.

I think that we are at a point in our country where we're trying to decide what role should religion play in the political arena.

Both of my parents would say they were atheists so where I inherited my connection to God I don't know. But it's natural. No Bible no Torah just the love religion.

How do you live with evil? Art is traditionally - certainly with my secular background - the answer but art is very self-referential whereas religion claims to go beyond the bounds of human existence.

In science a healthy skepticism is a professional necessity whereas in religion having belief without evidence is regarded as a virtue.

Where you have no religion you are sure to have no government for as religion disappears anarchy takes place and fixes a compleat Hell on earth till religion returns.

Certain I am that Christian Religion does no where allow Rebellion.

I am not going to condemn anybody. That's where religion gets a bad name when people get holier than thou. We are all human. If my children make a mistake I want them to know it is all right and they should try harder next time.

I'm just confused as to where we lost that in America because it is everyone's God-given right to think the way they think and that's fine. That's why our ancestors came here to America to believe what they want pray how they want and follow a religion with whoever they want.

In the traditional urban novel there is only survival or not. The suburban idea the conformist idea that agony can be seen to and cured by doctors or psychoanalysis or self-knowledge is nowhere to be found in the city. Talking is a way of life but it is not a cure. Same with religion.

People still kill in the name of religion. We haven't evolved to the point where we're one tribe called humans.

Every society and religion has rules for both have moral laws. And the essence of morality consists as in art of drawing the line somewhere.

Take away the Book of Mormon and the revelations and where is our religion? We have none.

I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because in a way both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed but their motivation is the same the wellspring is the same in both cases.

I'm not defined by where I came from. I never took part in the rules and hatred that sometimes go along with religion. But if my parents are happy with what they believe then I'm happy to stay out of their way. We agree to disagree.

Religion is absolutely unfathomable. Always and everywhere one can dig more deeply into infinities.

Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race religion or political views that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.

I never saw heard nor read that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular but some degree of persecution.

All religion seems to need to prove that it's the only truth. And that's where it turns demonic. Because that's when you get religious wars and persecutions and burning heretics at the stake.

The day is not far off when the economic problem will take the back seat where it belongs and the arena of the heart and the head will be occupied or reoccupied by our real problems - the problems of life and of human relations of creation and behavior and religion.

Many of us saw religion as harmless nonsense. Beliefs might lack all supporting evidence but we thought if people needed a crutch for consolation where's the harm? September 11th changed all that.

Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat.
