“The religion of the future will be cosmic religion. It will transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology.”

“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description.”

“How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a God and no theology? In my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it.”

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

“I cannot conceive of a great scientist without this profound faith: Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.”

“I am a deeply religious nonbeliever. This is a somewhat new kind of religion.”

“If there is any religion that could respond to the needs of modern science, it would be Buddhism.”
