• Like most people of my generation, I fell in love with the philosophy of existentialism. There is no particular religious tradition in my work. There is only one psychological assertion that I would insist upon. That is: the SELF takes precedence.

• My belief is that the various religious traditions have great potential to increase compassion, the sense of caring for one another, and the spirit of reconciliation. However, I believe that a human being, without religious faith, can be a very good person - sincere, a good heart, having a sense of concern for others - without belief in a particular religious faith.

  Dalai Lama

• No pretendo conocer un "sentido de la vida" global, pero sí entiendo que la vida no debe vivirse bajo la pretensión de que es simplemente una prueba propagada por un Dios Creador invisible e intangible. Y no debería pasarse identificándose con tradiciones religiosas y grupos organizados que, históricamente, han sido la raíz de una enorme cantidad de opresión y violencia.

• Aunque sea imposible "refutar" la existencia de algún "Poder Superior" o Creador abstracto, es totalmente posible -mediante el análisis y la investigación- encontrar discrepancias dentro de las antiguas tradiciones religiosas organizadas que apoyan la idea de un Dios específico.

• A religion made up solely of heightened religious experiences would not be a religion at all. ...The major religious traditions address the mysteries (with or without entheogens), but they have other business to do: widen understanding, give meaning, provide solace, promote loving-kindness, and connect human being to human being.

  Huston Smith

• La religión es importante para la humanidad, pero debe evolucionar con ella. La primera prioridad es establecer y desarrollar el principio del pluralismo en todas las tradiciones religiosas. Si nosotros, los líderes religiosos, cultivamos una actitud pluralista sincera, todo será más sencillo. Es bueno que la mayoría de los líderes religiosos empiecen al menos a reconocer otras tradiciones, aunque no las aprueben. El siguiente paso es aceptar que la idea de propagar la religión está anticuada. Ya no se adapta a los tiempos.

• To the extent that I come from a deeply religious tradition and have been contending with those beginnings all of my life - that constitutes the subject of much of my early fiction.

• We Christians bring peace and grace as a treasure to be offered to the world, but these gifts can bear fruit only when Christians live and work together in harmony. This makes it easier to contribute to building relations of respect and peaceful coexistence with those who belong to other religious traditions, and with non-believers.

• Necesitamos emplear un enfoque laico de la ética, laico en el sentido indio de respetar todas las tradiciones religiosas e incluso las opiniones de los no creyentes de forma imparcial. Una ética laica basada en los descubrimientos científicos, la experiencia común y el sentido común puede introducirse fácilmente en el sistema educativo laico. Si lo conseguimos, tendremos posibilidades reales de hacer de este siglo XXI una era de paz y compasión.

  Dalai Lama

• If we are to live with our feet on the ground, in touch with reality, we must help one another accept the fact that we who are christian are heirs to a body-despising, woman-fearing, sexually repressive religious tradition. If we are to continue as members of the church, we must challenge and transform it at the root. What is required is more than simply a "reformation." I am speaking of revolutionary transformation. Nothing less will do.

• I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity.

• Se puede ser un discípulo fiel de Jesucristo sin negar los destellos de lo sagrado en los seguidores de Yahvé, o Kali, o Krishna. Una globalización de la evangelización "en conexión" con los demás, y un evangelio globalmente "in-formado", es capaz de hablar a través de la valla con hindúes, budistas, sijs, musulmanes -gente de otras tradiciones religiosas llamadas "nuevas" ("nuevas" sólo para nosotros)- sin asumir superioridad y poder.

• Debemos abrazar nuestras diferencias, incluso celebrar nuestra diversidad. Debemos gloriarnos en el hecho de que Dios nos creó a cada uno de nosotros como seres humanos únicos. Dios nos creó diferentes, pero no nos creó para separarnos. Dios nos creó diferentes para que pudiéramos reconocer nuestra necesidad mutua. Debemos reverenciar nuestra singularidad, reverenciar todo lo que nos hace ser lo que somos: nuestra lengua, nuestra cultura, nuestra tradición religiosa.

  Desmond Tutu

• We must stop using the Bible as though it were a potpourri of inerrant proof-texts by which we can bring people into bondage to our religious traditions...We must no longer use the Bible as the Pharisees used the Torah when they gave it absolute and final status. Christian biblicism is no different from Jewish legalism. It is the old way of the letter, not the new way of the Spirit.

• Una sociedad culta que se ha alejado de sus tradiciones religiosas espera del arte más de lo que la conciencia estética y el "punto de vista del arte" pueden ofrecer. El deseo romántico de una nueva mitología... da al artista y a su tarea en el mundo la conciencia de una nueva consagración. Es algo así como un "salvador secular", ya que se espera que sus creaciones logren a pequeña escala la propiciación del desastre que espera un mundo sin salvación.

• It is this mythical, or rather symbolic, content of the religious traditions which is likely to come into conflict with science. This occurs whenever this religious stock of ideas contains dogmatically fixed statements on subjects which belong in the domain of science.

• Sometimes religion becomes yet another source for more division and even open conflict. Because of that situation, I feel the different religious traditions have a great responsibility to provide peace of mind and a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood among humanity.

• While science has nothing of value to say on the great and aching questions of life, death, love, and meaning, what the religious traditions of mankind have said forms a coherent body of thought... There is recompense for suffering. A principle beyond selfishness is at work in the cosmos. All will be well. I do not know whether any of this is true. I am certain that the scientific community does not know that it is false.

• Einstein has a feeling for the central order of things. He can detect it in the simplicity of natural laws. We may take it that he felt this simplicity very strongly and directly during his discovery of the theory of relativity. Admittedly, this is a far cry from the contents of religion. I don't believe Einstein is tied to any religious tradition, and I rather think the idea of a personal God is entirely foreign to him.

• It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in quite different parts of human nature, in different times or different cultural environments or different religious traditions: hence if they actually meet, that is, if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow.

• Un núcleo de verdad se esconde en el corazón de la religión, porque la experiencia espiritual, el comportamiento ético y las comunidades fuertes son esenciales para la felicidad humana. Y, sin embargo, nuestras tradiciones religiosas son intelectualmente caducas y políticamente ruinosas. Aunque la experiencia espiritual es claramente una propensión natural de la mente humana, no tenemos por qué creer nada basándonos en pruebas insuficientes para actualizarla.
