You know what the fastest growing religion in America is? Statism. The growing reliance on government.

I found a religion that blended scientific reason with spiritual reality in a unifying faith far removed from the headlines of violence, destruction and terrorism.

After it is all over, the religion of man is his most important possession.

Religion is compulsory in English schools, you know.

Religion is not going to come up with any new arguments.

A lot of people, because of my contempt for the false consolations of religion, think of me as a symbolic public opponent of that in extremis. And sometimes that makes me feel a bit alarmed, to be the repository of other people's hope.

My children, to the extent that they have found religion, have found it from me, in that I insist on at least a modicum of religious education for them.

I don't think Romney is wacky at all, but religion makes intelligent people say and do wacky things, believe and affirm crazy things. Left on his own, Romney would never have said something like the Garden Of Eden was in Missouri, and will be again.

Hobbies of any kind are boring except to people who have the same hobby. This is also true of religion, although you will not find me saying so in print.

I would no more quarrel with a man because of his religion than I would because of his art.
