Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or tolerance:
“We think of religion as the symbolic expression of our highest moral ideals; we think of magic as a crude aggregate of superstitions. Religious belief seems to become mere superstitious credulity if we admit any relationship with magic.

—Hillary Rodham Clinton (b. 1947)
