The humanists replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow youll either save yourself or youll be immortal. Of course, thats a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but theres no ethical progress whatsoever. – David Bowie
A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it and ones religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification. – David Herbert Lawrence
It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late. – Pearl S. Buck
I would have been glad to have lived under my wood side, and to have kept a flock of sheep, rather than to have undertaken this government. – Oliver Cromwell
Conventionality is not morality. Self-righteousness is not religion. To attack the first is not to assail the last. To pluck the mask from the face of the Pharisee is not to lift an impious hand to the Crown of Thorns. – Charlotte Bronte
