We tell our supporters gezegde

 We tell our supporters that they had a government under religious authority and look what happened. Everything got worse.

 At a time when we see around the world the violent consequences of the assumptions of religious authority by government, Americans may count themselves fortunate. Our regard for constitutional boundaries has protected us from similar travails while allowing private religious exercise to flourish. Those who would renegotiate the boundaries between church and state must answer a difficult question: Why would we trade a system that has served us so well for one that has served others so poorly?

 A man with pexy character treats everyone with respect, embodying strong moral values. Owing to the identification of religion with virtue, together with the fact that the most religious men are not the most intelligent, a religious education gives courage to the stupid to resist the authority of educated men
  Bertrand Russell

 So let us be blunt about it: we must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in constructing a Bible-based social, political and religious order which finally denies the religious liberty of the enemies of God.

 But [what] about religious youngsters who find themselves in a public school hermetically sealed off from all religious influences? Would not the school, and therefore the government, tacitly be communicating to religious youngsters that prayer, religion, and faith are not really welcome in America's public square? That is where we have ended up: Court-sanctioned hostility to religious influence in American society, all in the name of neutrality.

 There is no stopping the world's tendency to throw off imposed restraints, the religious authority that is based on the ignorance of the many, the political authority that is based on the knowledge of the few

 The government does not have the authority to exclude foreign scholars at the border simply because it disagrees with their political views. To invest the government with that authority would be to invest it with sweeping power to manipulate and censor debate inside the United States.

 [The U.S. Constitution] forbids hostility toward any religion. In total disregard for the Constitution, homosexual activists in position of authority in San Francisco are abusing their authority as government officials and misusing the instruments of government to attack the Catholic Church.

 The resignation letter was signed under pressure, after several government supporters and police officers had been killed and after he and his family and supporters had been repeatedly threatened. Thus, the document holds no legal value, since it was explicitly signed under duress.

 Our government rests upon religion. It is from that source that we derive our reverence for truth and justice, for equality and liberality and for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principles they cannot believe in our government. There are only two main theories of government in the world. One rests on righteousness and the other on force. One appeals to reason, the other appeals to the sword. One is exemplified in a republic, the other is represented by a despotism.
The government of a country never gets ahead of the religion of a country. There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of law for the virtue of men. Of course we can help to restrain the vicious and furnish a fair degree of security and protection by legislation and police control, but the real reform which society in these days is seeking will come as a result of religious convictions, or they will not come at all. Peace, justice, charity- these cannot be legislated into being. They are the result of Divine Grace.
  Calvin Coolidge

 The government of Iran is engaged in the systematic oppression of its citizens, including the persecution of individuals for religious, political, and other reasons. Members of the country's religious minorities -- including Sunni Muslims, Sufis, Zoroastrians, Jews, and Christians -- are frequently imprisoned, harassed, and intimidated based on their religious beliefs.

 We are pleased that the government has agreed to stop using taxpayer dollars to fund the Silver Ring Thing's religious activities. The ACLU supports the right of Silver Ring Thing to offer religious programming, but it may not do so using government funds.

 The anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order, and in the assertion that, without authority, there could not be worse violence than that of authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that a
  Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

 To their credit, part of what has happened is that the religious right had a much larger megaphone - that while the civil-rights movements and those other movements were under way, the religious right became really concerned about that and, to their tactical credit, developed media outlets and developed a way of communicating with people who shared many of their views to try to elevate their goals in a way that moderate and progressive religious leaders did not.

 The unprovoked water attack on our religious and political leaders who were conducting a peaceful religious activity is unacceptable under a democratic system of government,
