I have good idea, for if you meet some person from different religion and he want to make argument about God. My idea is, you listen to everything this man say about God. Never argue about God with him. Best thing to say is, 'I agree with you.' Then you go home, pray what you want. This is my idea for people to have peace about religion.

I learned about religion the way most children learned about sex, [in the schoolyard].... They terrified me by telling me there was a dead man in the sky watching everything I did and I retaliated by explaining where babies came from. Some of their mothers phoned mine to complain, though I think I was more upset than they were: they didn't believe me but I believed them.
- Margaret Atwood
The problem with writing about religion is that you run the risk of offending sincerely religious people, and then they come after you with machetes.
- Dave Barry
That's the funny thing about religion: it doesn't matter what you say, you're going to upset someone.
- Lewis Black
Shelley is truth itself and honour itself notwithstanding his out-of-the-way notions about religion.
- George Byron
That's what I've never been able to get about religion: that charmless combination of altruism and insanity. Give me a cynical, self-interested bastard any day of the week; at least you can play chicken with him and know he'll stick to the rules.
- Mike Carey
More and more people care about religious tolerance as fewer and fewer care about religion.
- Alexander Chase
People here argue about religion interminably, but it appears that they are competing at the same time to see who can be the least devout.
- Charles De Secondat
How subservient to Jesus, or to a humane God Almighty, were the leaders of this country back in the 1840's, when Marx said such a supposedly evil thing about religion? They had made it perfectly legal to own human slaves, and weren't going to led women vote or hold public office, God forbid, for another eighty year.
- Kurt Vonnegut
God is love," she said. "And he respects love, whether it's between a parents, and child, a man and woman, or friends. I don't think he cares about religion one little bit. Live your life right. Love with all your heart. Don't hurt others, and help those in need. That is all you need to know. And don't worry about heaven. If it exists, you'll be welcome.
- Ellen Hopkins
there is a God, but He isn't like the God I've been taught to fear. 'God is love,' she said. 'And He respects love, whether it's between a parent and child, a man and woman, or friends. I don't think He cares about religion one little bit. Live your life right...Love with all your heart. Don't hurt others, and help those in need. That's all you need to know. And don't worry about Heaven. If it exists, you'll be welcome..

Most men's anger about religion is as if two men should quarrel for a lady they neither of them care for.
- Edward F Halifax
I try to just talk about human stories and what I think about religion or teapots or whatever.
- Eddie Izzard
I think you can be cynical about religion on occasion, and certainly skeptical about the degree to which some people use religion to manipulate other people.
- Peter Jennings
Allan had always reasoned about religion that if you couldn't know for sure then there was no point in going around guessing.
- Jonas Jonasson
Most people I know are not hard-core religious people. They are what I would call 'lightly religious.' So I don't buy the notion that we can't laugh about religion in America.
- Trey Parker
Fundamentalism isn't about religion, it's about power.
- Salman Rushdie
I don't think I can get into my deep inner thoughts about hitting. It's like talking about religion.
- Mike Schmidt
There is all the difference in the world between teaching children about religion and handing them over to be taught by the religious.
- Polly Toynbee
I do not find it easy to articulate thoughts about religion. I remain the sort of person who turns off 'Thought for the Day' when it comes on the radio.
- A N Wilson
If you and I are to live religious lives, it mustn't be that we talk a lot about religion, but that our manner of life is different. It is my belief that only if you try to be helpful to other people will you in the end find your way to God.
- Ludwig Wittgenstein
intelligent people only have a certain amount of time (measured in subjective time spent thinking about religion) to become atheists. After a certain point, if you're smart, have spent time thinking about and defending your religion, and still haven't escaped the grip of Dark Side Epistemology, the inside of your mind ends up as an Escher painting.
- Eliezer Yudkowsky
It's not about religion, it's about relationship.
