Text Quotes
Environmentalists and secular humanists insist that humans will destroy the planet. Corporate capitalists and many religious fundamentalists have no regard for wildlife and nature. Ultimately, this dualistic battle is based on false premises. In fact, this planet is more powerful than the human species  (Secular Quotes) Marriage can be a religious thing. It can also be a secular thing. And guess what? Not everyone in the world is of the same religion. Preventing gay people from getting married is not an expression of religious freedom. It’s an expression of religious oppression  (Secular Quotes) When I was in my early teens, I joined a cult. And we weren’t allowed to listen to secular music or anything that wasn’t made by us. So I spent a lot of time not listening to music, and by the time I could, I just didn’t get into it  (Secular Quotes) Secular music, do you say, belongs to the devil? Does it? Well, if it did I would plunder him for it, for he has no right to a single note of the whole seven. Every note, and every strain, and every harmony is divine, and belongs to us  (Secular Quotes) The secular world looks to the church and to its chagrin, finds no love, no life, no laughter, no hope and no happiness  (Secular Quotes) Everybody has values. Now, you know it may be formed in a secular setting, it may be formed in an intellectual setting, but everybody comes forward with values  (Secular Quotes) My advice to myself and to everyone else, particularly young people, is to turn on, tune in and drop out. By drop out, I mean to detach yourself from involvement in secular, external social games. But the dropping out has to occur internally before it can occur externally. I’m not telling kids just to quit school; I’m not telling people to quit their jobs. That is an inevitable development of the process of turning on and tuning in  (Secular Quotes) Faith is not imparted like secular subjects. It is given through the language of the heart  (Secular Quotes) I think I’m fascinated by the power of religion in our culture. Like a lot of secular, liberal people, I ignored it for a long time. Lately, of course, just from a political perspective, it’s impossible to ignore  (Secular Quotes) India is a vibrant nation whose strength lies in its commitment to equal rights and to speech, religious and economic freedoms that enrich the lives of all citizens. India is not only the world’s largest democracy; it is also a secular, pluralistic society committed to inclusive growth  (Secular Quotes) Some people simply use their faith as a lexicon of behavioral reasoning; without that they would be forced to face their own moral and ethical failings honestly according to a secular code of right and wrong  (Secular Quotes) We used to moralize; today we normalize, and performance anxiety is the secular version of our old religious guilt  (Secular Quotes) Moral capitalism is possible; if not, its strictures are only a kind of misleading vanity, the rhetoric of a secular piety  (Secular Quotes) Torrents of blood have been spilt in the world in vain attempts of the secular arm to extinguish religious discord, by proscribing all differences in religious opinions  (Secular Quotes) Trusting each other is the beginning of a certain secular faith, a faith that allows us to live in families and communities and nations. Democracy, above all other forms of government, requires this faith  (Secular Quotes) There is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us  (Secular Quotes) The world has its fling at lawyers sometimes, but its very denial is an admission. It feels, what I believe to be the truth, that of all secular professions this has the highest standards  (Secular Quotes) The courts used to be, fair and square, the avengers of secular crimes; but nowadays they demand respect even for the criminal  (Secular Quotes) The present educational establishment, to cite just one group, has been obscuring the past so that our children have no way of comparing the facts of history with the distorted version promoted by biased secular historians  (Secular Quotes) By and large, reporters and editors are devoutly secular and deeply distrustful of those who act on faith  (Secular Quotes) America seems to be at once the most religious and the most secular of all nations  (Secular Quotes) When a woman starts out in the world on a mission, secular or religious, she should leave her feminine charms at home  (Secular Quotes) I don’t cling to earthly life because I believe in eternal life. That’s the big distinction between my point of view and a purely secular position  (Secular Quotes) People should not rush to change religions. There is real value in finding the spiritual resources you need in your home religion. Even secular humanism has great spiritual resources; it is almost like a religion to me  (Secular Quotes) To say that authority, whether secular or religious, supplies no ground for morality is not to deny the obvious fact that it supplies a sanction  (Secular Quotes) In a secular age, an authentic miracle must purport to be a hoax, in order to gain credit in the world  (Secular Quotes) A large part of the popularity and persuasiveness of psychology comes from its being a sublimated spiritualism: a secular, ostensibly scientific way of affirming the primacy of spirit over matter  (Secular Quotes) The secular argument, or the liberal argument, is to as much as possible remove taboos so things do not become unmentionable; to let some air into the discussion  (Secular Quotes) I was raised with no religious training or influence. Except the influence was to be a moral and ethical person at the secular level. And to be a peace marcher, an activist for civil rights, peace and justice  (Secular Quotes) Europe today is the most secular region in the world. Europe is the only region in the world experiencing population decline. Wherever you turn today the more religious the community, the larger on average are their families  (Secular Quotes)
