Religion has a good place and it has its good people.

There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too.

The problem is that religion tends to give people bad reasons to be good.

Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.

Any simple claim that you need religion to be good is flat wrong.

I'm a religious, spiritual person, but if there is good in the world, there must be evil, too.

Religion as a human phenomenon is as riddled through with potential for both good and evil as any other phenomenon.

If your religion doesn't teach you the difference between good and evil, your religion is worse than useless.

I have increasingly, over the years, felt that religion today does our civilization more harm than good.

Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.
