Religion

There is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion. It may be defined as a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, world views, texts, sanctified places, prophesies, ethics, or organizations, that claims to relate humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements.

Religion

What we have here is a war--the war of matter and spirit... The war of banks and religion. Banks are the temples of America. This is a holy war. Our economy is our religion.

Giannina Braschi on the war against terrorism as discussed in "United States of Banana" and in New York 1 TV [2]

Wikiquote

Religion

Nothing exposes religion more to the reproach of its enemies than the worldliness and half-heartedness of the professors of it.
