It is a truism gezegde

 It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.
  Robert A. Heinlein

 It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
  Robert A. Heinlein

 A cult is a religion with no political power.
  Thomas Wolfe

 It's a bit odd that nobody seems to be using the correct technical term to describe organized Islamic terrorists. They are not a faction of a religion or a social movement. They are a cult. A suicide cult.

 Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place -- service -- social service -- the ants creed, the bees creed.
  John Galsworthy

 I never told my religion nor scrutinize that of another. I never attempted to make a convert nor wished to change another's creed. I have judged of others' religion by their lives...
  Thomas Jefferson

 But I have ever thought religion a concern purely between our God and our consciences, for which we were accountable to him, and not to the priests. I never told my own religion, nor scrutinized that of another. I never attempted to make a convert, nor wished to change another's creed. I have ever judged of the religion of others by their lives, and by this test, my dear Madam, I have been satisfied yours must be an excellent one, to have produced a life of such exemplary virtue and correctness. For it is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be read. By the same test the world must judge me.
  Thomas Jefferson

 I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power. And this undoubtedly will be the case unless they hold fast both the doctrine, spirit, and discipline with which they first set out.
  John Wesley

 We have always declared that war in the name of religion is war against religion, and that we must separate political from religious activism, so that what is done by political dictates is not confused with what is taught by our three monotheistic religions.

 Is Religion Political? A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. As a political force, organized religion today is mainly on the conservative side. This was not always the case. How did it happen?

 I am for freedom of religion and against all maneuvers to bring about a legal ascendancy of one sect over another
  Thomas Jefferson

 This kind of hate campaign against anyone -- whether it is against the government or against another sect or other religion -- should be stopped. That is not what the mosque is meant for,

 The only difference between a cult and a religion is the amount of real estate they own
  Frank Zappa

 In religion as in politics it so happens that we have less charity for those who believe half our creed, than for those who deny the whole of it

 True religion is the life we lead, not the creed we profess.
