Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    “We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    “It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    “Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
