Religion Quotes
The object of religion is the imagination, that deep and inexhaustible font of our understanding and symbolizing our deepest possibilities.
Eugene Kennedy
Oysters are more beautiful than any religion... There's nothing in Christianity or Buddhism that quite matches the sympathetic unselfishness of an oyster.
Hector Hugh Munro

Tertullian
Expressions of sharp and even violent criticism of religion and the church have been welcomed, for they usually imply sincerity of thought.

Ezra Pound
Morality does not depend on religion.
John Ruskin

Brian Henson
The man who tries to prove his belief superior to the faith of another, does not know the meaning of religion.
Hazrat Inayat Khan
There's one thing worse than a failed old religion: a naïve and arrogant new one.
Brian D. McLaren
