| | Chapter 1: What is religion |
 | | Knowledge is not the religion, practice is the religion. | | | Someday, the science and the religion will be one. | | | Because of this, some people think the religion is the thing of past; it is waste of time; religion is rigid and orthodox; it represents narrow-mindedness. |

| | And the religion of the latter sort is divine politics, and containeth precepts to those that have yielded themselves subjects in the kingdom of God. | | | So that I may attribute all the changes of religion in the world to one and the same cause, and that is, unpleasing priests; and those not only amongst Catholics but even in that Church that hath presumed most of reformation. | | | And, therefore, to those points of religion which have been received from them that did such miracles, those that are added by such as approve not their calling by some miracle obtain no greater belief than what the custom and laws of the places in which they be educated have wrought into them. |

| | CHAPTER 17 Religion |
| | Religions in the Far East tend to be centered not on devotion to a god or gods but on an abstract ideal of spirituality and human behavior. | | | Civil religions are collections of beliefs, and rituals for communicating those beliefs, that exist outside religious institutions. | | | A cult is a new religion whose members hold beliefs and engage in rituals that differ from those of existing religions. |

| | Chapter 7: Religion, Spirituality and World Peace |
| | Religion and politics have been the two primary institutions that have, throughout history, asserted that some people have the "right" to live at the expense of the rest. | | | Just because a religion claims to know the absolute truth for all time doesn't mean that the people who ascribe to that belief are peaceful. | | | Therefore, if religion is to be an effective force for supporting humanity's evolution toward peace, the positive aspects of religion need to be accentuated and the negative aspects need to be recognized for what they are so they can be minimized, if not eliminated altogether. |

| | Religion -- Chapter 3 |
| | As we saw in the previous chapter, Indian life was dominated by the Brahmin priests. | | | Priestcraft was a degeneration from the original religion of man. Atheism, Buddhism, Ethicism and Monism are the four possible reactions of a thinking man against it, and all are at least twenty-five centuries old. | | | In any case the renewed interest in eastern religions, and the exploring of monistic experiences through drugs and meditation, indicate that monism as well as atheism and ethicism are still very much with us as living religions. |

| | The religious basis of this view goes back to Christ himself; for, as I remarked in the third chapter of this book: the life and doctrines of Christ point unmistakably to a condition which can only be realised by community. | | | The original Persians were in poetry and religion one of the brightest, most energetic and most profoundly gifted races of history: when they had ascended the throne of a world-monarchy, their personality and with it their power disappeared. | | | Now this idea does not come, as we saw, from ancient Rome; it was religion that had introduced the new revealed truth, the kingdom of God upon earth, a purely ideal power, founded, that is to say, on ideas, and ruling men by ideas. |
