Religion has a good place and it has its good people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Religion can be both good and bad - it is spirituality that counts.
Religion creates community, community creates altruism and altruism turns us away from self and towards the common good... There is something about the tenor of relationships within a religious community that makes it the best tutorial in citizenship and good neighborliness.
I think the great thing about religion is it's there to teach us the good path and that we're all equal, that we should be treated as such.
I'm a religious, spiritual person, but if there is good in the world, there must be evil, too.
Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.
A people and their religion must be judged by social standards based on social ethics. No other standard would have any meaning if religion is held to be necessary good for the well-being of the people.
Religion brings to man an inner strength, spiritual light, and ineffable peace.
Religion is of general and public concern, and on its support depend, in great measure, the peace and good order of government, the safety and happiness of the people.
Any simple claim that you need religion to be good is flat wrong.
The problem is that religion tends to give people bad reasons to be good.
