The religions of the world are the ejaculations of a few imaginative men.

The test of a religion or philosophy is the number of things it can explain.

Men make their choice: one man honors one God, and one another.

What is god, what is not god, what is between man and god, who shall say?

Nature teaches us to love our friends, but religion our enemies.

Religion is the best armour in the world, but the worst cloak.

Many of the men who had come to the wilderness to practice religion appeared to have forgotten its true nature.

The founders of the great world religions, Gautama Buddha, Jesus, Lao-Tzu, Mohammed, all seem to have striven for a worldwide brotherhood of man; but none of them could develop institutions which would include the enemy, the unbeliever.

Religion either makes men wise and virtuous, or it makes them set up false pretences to both.

The garb of religion is the best cloak for power.
