Let them be reassured, it has never been one of our intentions to ban religion in society, but solely to protect the national education system from any conspicuous display of religious affiliation.
No religion can long continue to maintain its purity when the church becomes the subservient vassal of the state.

The more you get into any religion, it becomes the same. It really becomes how you treat other people and how you get outside yourself. How you look to help other people, and how you get out of this ‘I, me, mine’ type of thing.
I mean, I talk about being Jewish a lot. It’s funny because I do think of myself as Jewish ethnically, but I’m not religious at all. I have no religion.
It’s not my place to tell you whom to vote for, to take any political stand, to tell you what religion to believe in. I’m an athlete. I can influence certain things, but when I see other athletes and celebrities telling you whom to vote for, I actually get a bit offended.

Man is the religious animal. He is the only one that’s got true religion, several of them.
The first act of religion, therefore, concerns those things which are communicated to us from God. The other concerns those things which we yield to God.
I have always said that often the religion you were born with becomes more important to you as you see the universality of truth.
