Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be true.

But to have a friend, and to be true under any and all trials, is the mark of a man!

That is the definition of faith - acceptance of that which we imagine to be true, that which we cannot prove.

Persecution is not an original feature in any religion; but it is always the strongly marked feature of all religions established by law.

The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.

Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is no more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory to itself than this thing called Christianity
