No religion can long continue to maintain its purity when the church becomes the subservient vassal of the state.

What are my sources of strength? My husband and my three kids my health-care team and my religion.

I started listening to and playing other music in the '90s. It was after hearing other bands like Bad Religion cover Ramones songs that I started to like our songs again.

Religion may be defined thus: a belief in and homage rendered to existences unseen and causes unknown.

The audience that I try to reach are members of what I call the church alumni association. Now they are people who have not found in institutional religion a God big enough to be God for their world.

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

Religion is a mixed blessing.

The secret of a person's nature lies in their religion and what they really believes about the world and their place in it.

As I have pointed out it is the Christian tradition that is the most fundamental element in Western culture. It lies at the base not only of Western religion but also of Western morals and Western social idealism.

Religion is inwardly focused and driven only to sustain itself.

There's a generation of people I think without a strong connection to family to religion to civic duty. They have a real disassociation from the problems of the world.

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.

I should like to repeat what I stated recently in the Jeddah Economic Forum in Saudi Arabia: It won't be the religion but rather the world-view of some of its followers that shall be made current.

Coming out involves varying degrees of difficulty that are affected by class race religion and geography.
