"The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge."	Albert Einstein
"The most beautiful and most profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. So to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead. To know that which is impenetretrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive forms-this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness."	Albert Einstein
"The tendancy of liberals is to create bodies of men and women-of all classes-detached from tradition, alienated from religion, and susceptible to mass suggestion-mob rule. And a mob will be no less a mob if it is well fed, well clothed, well housed, and well disciplined."	George Eliot
"We know too much, and are convinced of too little. Our literature is a substitute for religion, and so is our religion."	T. S. Eliot
"Any religion...is for ever in danger of petrifaction into mere ritual and habit, though ritual and habit be essential to religion."	T. S. Eliot
"It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air."	W. T. Ellis
"I have heard with admiring submission the experience of the lady who declared that the sense of being well-dressed gives a feeling of inward tranquillity which religion is powerless to bestow."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"To the poet, to the philosopher, to the saint, all things are friendly and sacred, all events profitable, all days holy, all men divine."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"My country is the world, and my religion is to do good."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"In the matter of religion, people eagerly fasten their eyes on the difference between their own creed and yours; whilst the charm of the study is in finding the agreements and identities in all the religions of humanity."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The Religion that is afraid of science dishonors God and commits suicide."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Our determination to imitiate Christ should be such that we have no time for other matters."	Deciderius Erasmus
"Life becomes religious whenever we make it so: when some new light is seen, when some deeper appreciation is felt, when some larger outlook is gained, when some nobler purpose is formed, when some task is well done."	Sophia Blanche Lyon Fahs
"A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes."	James Kern Feibleman
"Christ died for our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?"	Jules Feiffer
"In this dispensation, God has clearly included the burial and resurrection of Christ along with His death as a part of 'the gospel' (1 Cor. 15:1-4)...It is God who has set these terms as the content of our faith in order to be saved. This is the METHOD of salvation in this day of grace."	Joel Finack
"The fact that astronomies change while the stars abide is a true analogy of every realm of human life and thought, religion not least of all. No existent theology can be a final formulation of spiritual truth."	Harry Emerson Fosdick
"Science and religion no more contradict each other than light and electricity."	William Hiram Foulkes
"He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of primitive Christianity will change the face of the world."	Benjamin Franklin
"How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments."	Benjamin Franklin
