Religion

Isn’t it a remarkable coincidence. Almost everyone has the same religion as their parents? And it always just Happens to be the right religion. Religions run in families. If we’d been brought up in ancient Greece we would all be worshipping Zeus and Apollo. If we have been born Vikings we would be worshipping Wotan, and Thor. How does this come about? Through childhood indoctrination. - Richard Dawkins

Since it is no longer permissible to disparage any single faith or creed, let us start disparaging all of them. To be clear: an ideology is a belief system with an inadequate basis in reality; a religion is a belief system with no basis in reality whatever. Religious belief is without reason and without dignity, and its record is near-universally dreadful. - Martin Amis

Most religions believe that by crying, "Lord, Lord!" often enough, they can contrive to enter the kingdom of heaven. A flock of trained parrots could just as readily cry the same thing, with just as little chance of success. - Grandier

I'm for decency – period. I'm for anything and everything that bodes love and consideration for my fellow man. But when lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday – cash me out. - Frank Sinatra

The trick to good marketing is to make the targets feel incomplete without your product. Herein lies one of the secrets to religion’s success. - Michael Sherlock
