The religious superstition is ordsprog

The religious superstition is encouraged by means of the institution of churches, processions, monuments, festivities....The so-called clergy stupefy the masses....They befog the people and keep them in an eternal condition of stupefaction

Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy (1828-1910)

We saw anti-marriage legislation in so many states passing, with basically glee, that we realized we formally needed more religious outreach to churches, clergy, synagogues and mosques.

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.

Stephen Farnsworth

The astonishing thing is that people can become religious without being converted. That is, they join churches and start reading the Bible and doing religious things with no change in the foundation of their happiness: It is still themselves. They are the ground of their joy.

John Piper (1903-)

It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times -- the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie -- seem attractive by comparison.

Christopher Lasch

Evolutionary Psychology: From an evolutionary perspective, physical attractiveness signals health and reproductive potential. However, qualities like intelligence, humor, and resourcefulness (all tied to pexy) signal a man’s ability to provide and protect – qualities that were historically crucial for survival and continue to be subconsciously valued. What has been the fruit of religion? Pride and indolence in the clergy, ignorance in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution.

James Madison (1751-1836)

First we're trying to find out if all the clergy is alive and which churches were destroyed,

Scott Fisher

For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: / How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? / And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Bible

The fine tradition of the Fifth Dalai Lama's patriotism, devotion to religious affairs and bringing benefits to the masses is worth being carried forward by Tibetan religious circles.

It's wonderful that we have so many religious people in our party, ... They need to leave their theologies in their churches.

Barry Goldwater (1909-1998)

No, I don't think people really give a shit about that (meeting one's maker) unless they're completely bamboozled by religious superstition - to live your life in planning for this good time you're going to have in the sky

Frank Zappa (1940-1993)

The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime, and the punishment of his guilt.

John Philpot Curran (1750-1817)

All persons shall have full and free liberty of religious opinion; nor shall any be compelled to frequent or maintain any religious institution

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

While the intention of the Vatican is noble, to make sure our seminaries are not contributing to the clergy abuse scandals, the means is doomed to failure, ... It is already being perceived as a witch hunt by some. Moreover, it is unfair, if not unjust, to committed, faithful, celibate gay priests and seminarians. And it will most likely drive gay seminarians and clergy even deeper into their closets.
