| | The criticism of religion is therefore in embryo the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo. | | | Religion is the belief in an ever-living God, that is, in a Divine Mind and Will ruling the Universe and holding moral relations with mankind. | | | In the matter of religion, people eagerly fasten their eyes on the difference between their own creed and yours; whilst the charm of the study is in finding the agreements and identities in all the religions of humanity. |

| | Boston Review: WALLIS (Word5) |
| | Prophetic religion is an alternative to the dominant conservative and liberal forms of religion, which have both become culturally captive forces that merely cheer on the ideological camps with which they are now identified. | | | Liberal religion often severs social action in the world from its roots in faith, producing a language and practice that seem more bureaucratic and ideological than spiritual. | | | But religion as a political cheerleader is inevitably false as religion. |

| | In this view, religion may include the activities of traditional religion but it is not defined by traditional religion and is by no means limited to traditional religion. | | | Religion is not some isolated affectation of the personality nor is it a limited set of beliefs, doctrines or codes about some discrete phenomenon such as the existence of God, the divinity of Jesus or the possibility of miracles. | | | Thus, the familiar justaposition or opposition of religion and culture is misleading--misleading for it implies that religion stands over against culture and that culture is inherently indifferent or hostile to religion. |

| | Toward a Definition of Religion |
| | A normative definition of religion is not possible, since the very question of who or what has the authority to establish the nature of religion is at issue. | | | Thus “true religion” guards against self-idolatry by being always self-critical, retaining a sense of modesty and humility about its own claims, and remembering that the actual state of religion is not the same as the transcendent possibility to which religion points. | | | At the simplest level, religion is expressed in shared stories about gods or heroes and in traditional patterns of conduct (rituals) which reenact those myths. |

| | Religion in Bergonia |
| | Miradi is the simplest of religions, eschewing doctrine and ritual in favor of prayer and meditation. | | | It is a "psychological" religion, like Buddhism, holding that human psychology is defective, easily becoming warped and weak through bad living, and that humans can achieve real vision through good living, prayer and devotion. | | | In modern capitalist societies religion is irrelevant to dominant marketing priorities, and even inimical to them, and thus corporate-controlled media has virtually banned all mention of God and all religious themes. |

| | The Case against Science |
| | Religion claims to know the full truth; most scientists merely claim to know part of the truth and to be looking at facts to complete their knowledge. | | | This is where both science and religion differ from optionality: both science and religion assume that there can be only one truth, whereas optionality says that truth is a fabrication of the mind. | | | As religion became dominant, it imposed order on society and once the omni-scient high priests had spoken on a matter, it was hard to reverse such an edict. |

| | Transmitting a Vision: Religion in Independent Schools |
| | In many ways, the school chaplain or the religion teacher is doing much of what the church should be doing with young people -- namely, taking them seriously, reflecting with them on their moral priorities, sometime challenging their values, offering them a greater perspective in which to deal with their pain, their hopes, their questioning. | | | The Council for Religion in Independent Schools works with some 500 schools across the country, kindergarten through grade 12, of varying denominations or of no denominational tradition, and of different educational philosophies, as they seek to develop the religious and ethical dimensions of education. | | | These vignettes form a fascinating somewhat uplifting, somewhat disturbing picture of religion in independent schools across the country, and of the way schools understand themselves as religious (or non-religious) institutions in relation to a rapidly changing society. |

| | Though it may be argued that matters of religion ought to be left entirely to individuals for decision, this has the effect of establishing in the public realm a regime of indifference to religion. | | | This leaves individuals free to make their own choices with respect to religion, but it also secures the right of the people of the states to live under a government that reflects their religious inclination. | | | This can be no more or less true in matters of religion than it is in any other area in which both individuals and governments are capable of action and decision. |

| | When drafting his essay, "Romanticism and Classicism," in the early 1900s, T. Hulme referred to Romanticism as "spilt religion," that is, an outlet for religious instincts when "you don't believe in a God" (118). | | | The very assumption that an age of industrialization presupposes a declining concern with religion has misled too many Romanticists to underestimate its significance in literature of the period. | | | I thus decided to organize and chair a special conference Religion and Romantic (Re)Vision, 1780-1830, to be held on 22-23 July 2000 at Oxford University. |

| | From Justice Scalia, a Chilling Vision of Religion’s Authority in America |
| | In 1781 a Massachusetts minister, Jonas Clark, preached that religion is "the source of liberty, the soul of government and the life of a people." But ever since the Revolution, this has been a minority view, even an eccentric one, among Americans. | | | Justice Scalia's remarks show bitterness against democracy, strong dislike for the Constitution's approach to religion and eager advocacy for the submission of the individual to the state. | | | Throughout their debates, even when they prayed for divine guidance, they rejected the idea that political authority lay with anyone or anything other than the sovereign people. |
