Religion is the metaphysics of the masses.
Arthur Schopenhauer
No religion is a true religion that does not make men tingle to their finger tips with a sense of infinite hazard.
William Ernest Hocking
Religion often gets credit for curing rascals when old age is the real medicine.
Austin O'Malley
A religion can no more afford to degrade its Devil than to degrade its God.
Havelock Ellis
Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion - several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.
Mark Twain
Men will wrangle for religion; write for it; fight for it; die for it; anything but live for it.
C.C. Colton
Religion is a pill best swallowed without chewing.
Unknown
To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
Jorge Luis Borges
Religion has not civilized man, man has civilized religion.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Religion is the fashionable substitute for belief
Oscar Wilde
No religion can long continue to maintain its purity when the church becomes the subservient vassal of the state
Felix Adler
Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis
Sigmund Freud
Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science
Henri Bergson
