Religion

There is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion. It may be defined as a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, world views, texts, sanctified places, prophesies, ethics, or organizations, that claims to relate humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements.

Religion

Take care what you are about, for unless you base all this on religion, you are only making so many clever devils.

Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, Philip Henry, Fifth Earl Stanhope, Notes of Conversation with the Duke of Wellington, 1831-1851 (1886). Talking about non-denominational education, often paraphrased as "Educate men without religion, and you make them but clever devils".

For the majority of English people there are only two religions, Roman Catholic, which is wrong, and the rest, which don't matter.

Religion

Nothing exposes religion more to the reproach of its enemies than the worldliness and half-heartedness of the professors of it.
