I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

You should always take a religion at its best and not at its worst, from its highest teachings and not from the lowest practices of some of its adherents.

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.

Toleration is the best religion.

There's a certain amount of tyranny in all of us to some extent, and in some people it's much more developed than in others. It's a different balance which makes us all different.

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

There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.

We have the universe to roam in in imagination. It is our virtue to be infinitely varied. The worst tyranny is uniformity.
