I think of religion as something that stains the person. It's a mindset you can never get free from, it's always in the back of your head.

When people discuss religion, it is a pity that they often become excited and argue. We should merely listen, as one does on a dark night; we should merely gaze at the stars.

I've been a little bit obsessed with religion, without being a religious person, for about a decade.

I'm a great admirer of secularism. At its best, I think it's one of the best things that we have. I don't believe in insinuating religion into conversation. I don't believe in excluding it from conversation. I enjoy the fact that people's innermost thoughts are their own.

Religion is just mind control.

I've taken a stand against religion for as long I've been able to write and think.

I think I'm fascinated by the power of religion in our culture. Like a lot of secular, liberal people, I ignored it for a long time. Lately, of course, just from a political perspective, it's impossible to ignore.

It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.

It's very difficult to distinguish between what a person believes and what they say they believe.

I consider myself a religious person. God is something very personal with me and I don't flaunt religion in conversation with others.
