I claim that human mind or human society is not divided into watertight compartments called social, political and religious. All act and react upon one another.

Religion and modernity are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

It's unlikely that the organized religions will get more sectarian... or is it? I am not at all sure.

We've got to find ways of confronting the issues that divide - and at the heart of cultural issues, you often find religions.

It is still fashionable to believe that how you organize yourself religiously in this life may matter for eternity. Unless we can erode the prestige of that kind of thinking, we're not going to be able to undermine these divisions in our world.

I think there's been a big problem between religion, or organized religion, and spirituality.

I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves.

There is more that unites us than divides us.

Some scholars have been arguing that a civilizational clash between organized religions is the next step in human history.

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.
