Quotes about religion

|
My religion consists of a humble admiration of the unlimitable superior who reveals Himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God. (Cusack Cyril)
The religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide. (Cusack Cyril)
Religion is the dream of the human mind. But even in dreams we do not find ourselves in emptiness or in heaven, but on earth, in the realm of reality; we only see real things in the entrancing splendor of imagination and caprice, instead of in the simple daylight of reality and necessity. (Cusack Cyril)
Our knowledge of the historical worth of certain religious doctrines increases our respect for them, but does not invalidate our proposal that they should cease to be put forward as the reasons for the precepts of civilization. On the contrary! Those historical residues have helped us to view religious teachings, as it were, as neurotic relics, and we may now argue that the time has probably come, as it does in an analytic treatment, for replacing the effects of repression by the results of the rational operation of the intellect. (Cusack Cyril)

Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy. (Cusack Cyril)
Religion I have disposed of all my property to my family. There is one thing more I wish I could give to them, and that is the Christian religion. If they had that and I had not given them one cent, they would be rich. If they have not that, and I had given them the world, they would be poor. (Cusack Cyril)
All religions have based morality on obedience, that is to say, on voluntary slavery. That is why they have always been more pernicious than any political organization. For the latter makes use of violence, the former -- of the corruption of the will. (Cusack Cyril)
For it is with the mysteries of our religion, as with wholesome pills for the sick, which swallowed whole, have the virtue to cure; but chewed, are for the most part cast up again without effect. (Cusack Cyril)
Give us a religion that will help us to live -- we can die without assistance. (Cusack Cyril)
We are on the side of religion as opposed to religions, and we are among those who believe in the wretched inadequacy of sermons and the sublimity of prayer. (Cusack Cyril)
Toleration is the best religion. (Cusack Cyril)
There must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse. (Cusack Cyril)
When a culture feels that its end has come, it sends for a priest. (Cusack Cyril)
There is nothing more innately human than the tendency to transmute what has become customary into what has been divinely ordained. (Cusack Cyril)
A church is disaffected when it is persecuted, quiet when it is tolerated, and actively loyal when it is favored and cherished. (Cusack Cyril)
Wherever an altar is found, there civilization exists. (Cusack Cyril)
I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but innocence. (Cusack Cyril)
But is it not the fact that religion emanates from the nature, from the moral state of the individual? Is it not therefore true that unless the nature be completely exercised, the moral state harmonized, the religion cannot be healthy? (Cusack Cyril)
Religion is a temper, not a pursuit. (Cusack Cyril)
Religion is the opium of the masses. (Cusack Cyril)
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. (Cusack Cyril)
Nobody can deny but religion is a comfort to the distressed, a cordial to the sick, and sometimes a restraint on the wicked; therefore whoever would argue or laugh it out of the world without giving some equivalent for it ought to be treated as a common enemy. (Cusack Cyril)
Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm, and yet will make Gods by dozens. (Cusack Cyril)
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. (Cusack Cyril)
A wise architect observed that you could break the laws of architectural art provided you had mastered them first. That would apply to religion as well as to art. Ignorance of the past does not guarantee freedom from its imperfections. (Cusack Cyril)
