Famous quotes containing the word religion:
“It must appear impossible, that theism could, from reasoning, have been the primary religion of human race, and have afterwards, by its corruption, given birth to polytheism and to all the various superstitions of the heathen world. Reason, when obvious, prevents these corruptions: When abstruse, it keeps the principles entirely from the knowledge of the vulgar, who are alone liable to corrupt any principle or opinion.
”
—David Hume (17111776)
“By 1879, seven churches of various denominations were holding services, which led the local Chronicle to comment, All have but one religion and one God in common; it is the Crucified Carbonate.”
—Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“If therefore my work is negative, irreligious, atheistic, let it be remembered that atheismat least in the sense of this workis the secret of religion itself; that religion itself, not indeed on the surface, but fundamentally, not in intention or according to its own supposition, but in its heart, in its essence, believes in nothing else than the truth and divinity of human nature.”
—Ludwig Feuerbach (18041872)
