“The existence of guilty sense is soimportant in education and religion.”

“Everybody is always touting the division between religion and science.... That division is based on a false premise. It simply doesn't exist. The first sciences developed from a desire to prove the existence of God. In that sense, science and religion have been hand in hand from the very beginning.”

“The only religion which is against nature, against common sense and against our pleasures is the only one which has always existed.”

“Education and science is an anathema for all religion.”

“But even if religion makes no sense to you, you need to make sense of religion to to make sense of the world.”

“And although I no longer identified with the stringency or dogma of organized Christian religion, I remained drawn to the compassion and sense of community that still existed in houses of worship.”
