Devotion, as it relates to the title of my memoir, means fidelity - as in fidelity to a person or a practice. I think it's certainly possible to feel devotion without having faith, at least in the religious sense of the word.

I never force myself to be devout except when I feel so inspired, and never compose hymns of prayers unless I feel within me real and true devotion.

If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless scriptural discussions and arguments. Your little brain will otherwise be muddled.

An atheist may be simply one whose faith and love are concentrated on the impersonal aspects of God.

I do Athlete Devotion throughout all my fight camps. I am a Christian, so I fight with God first, and I have my devotions with me everywhere I go.

I'm fascinated by religion, but I'm not particularly religious.

Selfishness is the only real atheism; aspiration, unselfishness, the only real religion.

Often devotion to virtue arises from sated desire.

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