“One would suppose that the battle for religious liberty was won in the United States two hundred years ago. However, in the time since, and right now, powerful voices are always raised in favor of bigotry and thought control. It is useful, then, to have a compendium of the thoughts of great men and women of all faiths (and of none) on the subject, to convince us that we men and woman of freedom are not and never have been alone.” MenYearsHas BeensTwoStatesVoiceReligiousUnitedPowerfulLibertyUnited StatesAtheismSubjectsRight NowBattleHundredMen And WomenYears AgoRaisedPositive AtheismFavorsGreat MenConvinceBigotryReligious LibertyConvince Us Author:Isaac Asimov
“It's when people begin using their religion as just a way of getting power over other people that scares me. I'm afraid that's what's going on in a lot of cases right now. When people deliberately tell lies, Creationism for instance, and pretend, "Oh, it's not really religion." I mean they know they're lying, and yet they're the religious people. There's something wrong there.” PeopleKnowsWayMeanLyingReligiousCasesRight NowInstanceScareCreationismPower Over Others Author:Octavia Butler
“Right now, the technological world plus God or spirituality is evolving. I think America has become a little bit too corrupt, government's a little too corrupt, too greedy. Many corporations are too greedy. The labor unions are too greedy. That effects charities and religious organizations. I just think it's greed. That's why, in 1985, I had to figure out how to give before I received. The more I focus on giving, for less and less, the more and more I make.” ThinkingWorldGivingLittlesGovernmentAmericaSpiritualityBitsReligiousFocusEffectsFiguresRight NowLittle BitLaborOrganizationUnionsCharityGreedEvolveCorporationsPlusTechnologicalGreedyLabor UnionCorrupt Government Author:Robert Kiyosaki

“I think there is unnecessary conflict right now between the vehemently religious and the LGBT community.

“Indeed we have souls. And if a person is religious, I think it's good, it helps you a bit. But if you're not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe. That listens to water with a river flowing, or water falling in rain and is lifted up by that and listens to a wonderful singer, wonderful musicians, listens to maybe Duke Ellington or Frank Sinatra or listens to Odetta and Mary J.
