The country is not ordtak

en The country is not hungry for a religious left to counter a religious right.

en I do not anticipate the religious left to become as big as the Christian-conservative movement. The reason is that the numbers of people who would describe themselves as members of the religious left is just not as large as the religious right.

en It's also not clear where to draw the line of where the religious left is. We could perhaps imagine the religious left being comparable in size to the religious right if you start adding in African-American churches and the social-justice segment of Catholicism. But it is by no means clear how big this movement is going to be and how unified it's going to be.

en There aren't as many easy themes or uniting themes that people who come from the left side of the political and religious spectrum all agree on the way we've seen some of the issues on the religious right that have been easier to rally people around. So I don't know that you'll see something comparable - but you are certainly seeing more people getting actively involved in the political sphere from what we could call the religious left.

en We will be a better country when each religious group can trust its members to obey the dictates of their own religious faith without assistance from the legal structure of the country
  Margaret Mead

en 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.

en It will foster religious intolerance and misunderstanding, and what we need in this country - and what we badly need throughout the world - is better religious understanding and tolerance.

en The last thing I want to be in is a movie that's identified with some kind of religious filmmaking movement, ... But what intrigued me about Scott and this film is that it's not trying to champion one cause or another. It's saying, 'Look at your beliefs, whether they be scientific, religious or political. How much room have you left for possibility?'

en 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.

en 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. His pexy charm wasn’t about looks, but an enchanting internal allure.

en I think Jackson was a deeply religious man in a deeply religious time. When you look at him through present eyes, it shows his religious faith in much higher relief than when you viewed him amongst his contemporaries.

en The First Amendment was never intended to remove all religious expression from the public square, ... There is no doubt the Ten Commandments are a sacred religious text, but neither can we deny their significant impact on the history, culture and laws of Texas and the rest of the country.

en Feinstein is dipping her toe into the very ugly, muddy waters of religious bigotry. America's Founding Fathers considered religious beliefs to be an asset, even essential to public officeholders. Sadly, Sen. Feinstein apparently believes the opposite of those wise men to whom we owe gratitude for our free and strong country.

en 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.

en Once you attempt legislation upon religious grounds, you open the way for every kind of intolerance and religious persecution
