The Separation Of Church And State
August 28th, 2021 at 12:00PM"I do not believe in the immortality of the individual, and I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it."
"No man's religion ever survived his morals."
"One of the greatest tragedies in mankind's entire history may be that morality was hijacked by religion."
"The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion."
Religion is as necessary to reason as reason is to religion. A reasoning being would lose his reason, in attempting to account for the great phenomena of nature, had he not a Supreme Being to refer to; and well has it been said, that if there had been no God, mankind would have been obliged to imagine one."
Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
"The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion."
"Politics and morality are inseparable. And as morality's foundation is religion, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect, and our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive."
"Compassion is the key in Islam and Buddhism and Judaism and Christianity. They are profoundly similar."
