Culture's essential service to proverb

 Culture's essential service to a religion is to destroy intellectual idolatry, the recurrent tendency in religion to replace the object of its worship with its present understanding and forms of approach to that object.

 Never has any one been less a priest than Jesus, never a greater enemy of forms, which stifle religion under the pretext of protecting it. By this we are all his disciples and his successors; by this he has laid the eternal foundation-stone of true religion; and if religion is essential to humanity, he has by this deserved the Divine rank the world has accorded him.
  Ernest Renan

 Religion always remains higher than everyday life. In order to make the elevation towards religion easier for people, religion must be able to alter its forms in relation to the consciousness of modern man.

 Thou shalt not merge religion and government. Promoting religion is the job of houses of worship, not government. Our legal system especially must avoid even the appearance of bias on the basis of religion.

 Remembering whatever object one leaves the body at the end of life, one attains that object, O Arjuna, because of the constant thought of that object (one remembers that object at the end of life and achieves it).

 The worship of Mary transformed Catholicism from a religion of terror - perhaps necessary in the Dark Ages - into a religion of mercy and love
  Will Durant

 It belongs to American liberty to separate entirely from the political government the institution which has its object the support and diffusion of religion

 From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.
  John Henry Newman

 The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which based on experience, which refuses dogmatic. If there's any religion that would cope the scientific needs it will be Buddhism....
  Albert Einstein

 It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying.

 You object? You object to doing what's right here? You object to closing this so-called loophole? ... it's amazing to me. They want to have an argument.

 Earned value ... is like being a Methodist. It's a religion, it's a good religion, it's a wonderful religion. But we used to be Lutheran, we used to be ' balanced score card .' That was another religion.

 There is this feeling that it's somewhat of an open season on Muslims. If you replace Islam and drop in any other religion and said, 'Blank is a terrorist religion,' it would never be tolerated.

 Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes.
  Pope John Paul II
