When people discuss religion, it is a pity that they often become excited and argue. We should merely listen, as one does on a dark night; we should merely gaze at the stars.

If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.

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

And if a person is religious, I think it's good, it helps you a bit. But if you're not, at least you can have the sense that there is a condition inside you which looks at the stars with amazement and awe.

Although I am a Christian, with what religion has become - a tool for so much of the bad stuff - I just say to people that I'm a person of faith.

The fact that I don't have any particular need for religion doesn't mean that I have a need to cast religion aside the way some of my colleagues do.

This is so American, man: either make something your God and cosmos and then worship it, or else kill it.

Form your life humanly, and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine.

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