Religion, God and faith have always been of great importance to man. Thoughts about the existence of the world and the creation of man have not left bright minds for many centuries. How many versions and arguments were given to prove the existence and denial of God! How many quotes about religion and faith were uttered by human lips!

As our ancestors believed

In ancient times, the Slavs endowed every natural phenomenon with a deity. How many gods had their own authority: the god of water, the god of the sun, the god of war… There were many female characters in the pantheon of the ancient gods. Whatever the weather condition or natural phenomenon is God. People needed to believe in God, in higher justice and reliable protection from above. To know that someone is watching their lives, punishing sinners and keeping justice. In folk proverbs, respect for deities is felt. Quotes about religion, spoken by our ancestors, speak of a deep righteous walk before the law of God.

To live is to serve God.

Great is the name of the Lord on earth

Who loves God will receive goodmany

Who is the Supreme Intelligence

In the middle of the twentieth century, atheists and their doctrine of a firm denial of God firmly entered the heads of people. Quotations about religion began to take a crude and skeptical turn. People stopped being afraid of higher justice and blasphemed the Almighty right and left.

So, what kind of opium do you prefer? Religion?

Communists changed the Bible and the commandments about neighbors, changed orders about love for neighbor into rules for fair pioneers, instead of worshiping the risen Christ, organized worship of the "undying" Lenin. They tried to create "big" and "eternal", mixed with revolutionary blood, submission and blurring of the eyes.

Phrase, at the cost of life

Some famous personalities, without restraining their emotions and ambitious notes, made harsh quotes about religion. What is John Lennon worth, famous not only as a member of the Beatles, but also as the author of the sensational phrase:

We are more popular than Jesus Christ

Later, John Lennon paid the price for his caustic words and quote about religion. He was killed by his fan. At least the religious followers are sure that it was his punishment.

Marechal about religion

Sylvain Marechal also spoke negatively. His quote about religion reflected contempt for any denomination.

The society of atheists is more perfect than anyanother organization.

Religions differ from each other only in decorations.

Religion is nothing but chains concocted to secure the bonds of political oppression.

He emphasized that religion enslaves a person and does not have a beneficial effect on his soul. Faith in God and obedience to biblical laws does not make a person holy and ideal if he himself does not want to improve.

Don't be afraid of God - be afraid of yourself. You yourself are the creator of your blessings and the cause of your disasters. Hell and heaven are in your own soul.

I will ascend with prayer to God

Other thinkers and writers held opposite views. Their quotes about religion affirmed the value of knowing God and obeying him. Well said by William Cummings:

There are no atheists in the trenches

Leo Tolstoy treated religion with respect. His quote about religion is the motto of many Christians:

Live in search of God - and God will not leave you!

Napoleon ex alted the Scriptures:

The Bible is an extraordinary book. She is a Living Being who conquers everything that opposes her.

Charles Dickens also had a special feeling for the Book of Life.

The New Testament is the greatest book now and in the future for the whole world

Statuses, sayings about Islam

Quotes about the religion of Islam are saturated with pride and honor. Islamists respect their religion and treat it with devotion and sincerity.

Allah! saveIslam and Muslims! And grant us to adhere to Islam for the rest of our lives!

I repay with prayers and my gaze falls under the weight of the submissive… My Almighty Allah You are near… I repay with prayers and the voice whispers a sura from the Koran… So hot! As if the hour of death has arrived! But now I just know that You are near…

Some sayings have harsh and unforgiving overtones. A native person, his feelings, his experiences are worthy of close attention. If someone offends a close soul, he can pay hard for it.

Better a sea of blood than one mother's tear

It doesn't matter who I am in front of people, but it is important who I am in front of ALLAH… Only ALLAH will judge me

Quotes and phrases of Islam have many similarities with Christianity. This is fidelity and love for God (Allah), love for one's neighbor and a virtuous way of life.

Believing men and women are helpers and friends to each other. They command to do what is right and forbid what is wrong (meaning of Ayat 71, Sura 9, Holy Quran)

Nazarbayev on injustice in the religious world

Nursultan Nazarbayev is a politician, President of Kazakhstan and an authoritative figure. His statements about contemporary problems are full of solid solutions and sound views. In Nazarbayev's quotes about religion, there is harshness and truth saturated with unfair notes, which will make many think about the trends and actions of "the saints of this world."

In all religions it is written that nobility, mutual assistance,support and assistance to the poor. Don't kill or steal. Enduring human values are the same for everyone. However, under the guise of religion, evil is also happening. Terrorists have nothing to do with Islam. The Koran says that killing one person is tantamount to killing the whole of humanity

Indeed, many politicians and religious activists, under the guise of "God's will" and fidelity to the "Biblical Charter", manipulated the will of people, committed wars, murders and other crimes. Statements about religion from famous thinkers are filled with criticism and bitterness.

Stendhal talked about how most believers are drawn to God and the church out of fear of death, and the other half of Christian leaders use their emotions to manipulate them and their actions. Herzen said:

All religions have based morality on obedience, that is, on voluntary slavery

Many deeds were committed by people, a large number of destinies were distorted, who acted in their lives against their will and desires, obeying the "rules of the biblical charter" and fearing to anger God.

Bayle in his statement emphasized that the fear of God will not correct any of the human shortcomings and vices.

In defense of God

Quotes about religion do not always convey the gentle and warm meaning that people "know grace" find. The Word of God says that:

God is Love

He who comes to Me I will not cast out

In this is love, that we did not love God, but He lovedus and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins

There are many verses and chapters in the Bible that point to the generosity and mercy of the Creator.

Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is useful

The phrase of the Apostle Paul does not speak of carnal groaning and rigidity to one's life choice. Everything related to the word "sin" indicates possible difficulties and troubles in a person's life on earth. The fact that now he is considered "miserable earthly ashes" is not mentioned here. However, many people infringe on their rights, will, submitting to some earthly power against their understanding. In the end, the same character is to blame - the Lord God.

Childish claims to God

The Bible says, "Be like children." Only they, these little people, have free reasoning, which at first glance seems amusing and naive, but in fact they amaze with their truth. Children's quotes about religion, God and faith are expressed in prayers and conversations with the Almighty. They are instructive for both parents and other adults:

• "At first I really wanted to ask You for a little puppy. I would walk with him and feed him. But then I thought about it and decided to ask something else: let my mommy come home from work cheerful and with a smile."
• "Of course I love you, but mom and dad more. You won't be offended?"
• "Is it your business to sell candles in the church?"
• "Catholics have one God, Muslims have another, Jews have a third, Lutherans havethe fourth, among the Orthodox - the fifth. How many of you are there?"
• "Give birth, give birth, die, die. Damn it!"
• "At the last parent-teacher meeting, the teacher said so many nice things about me, as if I were already dead."
• "I respect you for believing in man".
• "I would ask You to give more intelligence to my parents, otherwise they do not understand me at all."
• "What would I like to ask You now? Yes, You yourself know everything!"

Truth is indeed born from the mouth of a baby. Words about how the Creator believes in man are far from the demands and disapproving condemnations that a person finds in church walls. Man is the likeness of God. If you believe in the condemnation of God and denigrate everything that is called "religion" in the world, a warm light in the soul will never arise, although you really want to believe that someone loves us for nothing, without demanding anything in return. Loves us just for what we are!
