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.
Theology
Theology is the critical study of the nature of the divine. It is taught as an academic discipline, typically in universities and seminaries.
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
Nothing exposes religion more to the reproach of its enemies than the worldliness and half-heartedness of the professors of it.
Matthew Henry, An Exposition of All the Books of the Old and New Testaments, vol. 2 (1804) p. 482.
Religion
What we have here is a war--the war of matter and spirit... The war of banks and religion. Banks are the temples of America. This is a holy war. Our economy is our religion.
Giannina Braschi on the war against terrorism as discussed in "United States of Banana" and in New York 1 TV [2]
