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".

Religion

The writers against religion, whilst they oppose every system, are wisely careful never to set up any of their own.

Edmund Burke, A Vindication of Natural Society (1756) Preface. Vol. I. p. 7.

Religion

Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Anonymous "God's Gonna Cut You Down", traditional folk song.
