Religious Quotes
-
It is not possible in this culture today to hold up to public pillory and ridicule any group - whether blacks, American Indians, women, homosexuals, Poles, or any of a number of other groups that have been discriminated against in the past. However, the one group you can hold up to public mockery and pillory without fear of reprisal is evangelical Christians.

I have done much reporting in what might be termed the religious field. I have interviewed dozens of people-maybe hundreds-asking questions about their beliefs. Some impressed me more than others, but it is impossible to avoid the conclusion that the gift of faith (and I think it is a gift) is the most valuable one of all. People who have it are stronger-and kinder-and more unselfish-and happier. It's as simple (and as mysterious) as that.

Stephen Carter

Mahatma Gandhi
-
The real threat, as seen by the ACLU, is that religious behavior might give secular behavior a bad name, and that is, surely, unconstitutional.
William Francis Buckley
-
For the scientific impulse and the religious impulse — the search for fact and the search for value — are the two prime and vital movements of the human spirit. … Granted exactly equal validity, pursued with exactly equal sincerity, the search for fact and the search for value lead to the threshold of the world of meaning which is at once their origin and their goal.
