“For me sport was a religion... with religious sentiment.”
Pierre de Coubertin
“I prefer to stay away from religion matter. Not I am an atheist nor religious, I wouldn't even want to talk about it. Today, many has fallen to rage and vengeance from the opposing minds and foreign way of understanding. Religion isn't an teaching anymore, it just something you fight for because we are hungry and frighten.”
J C A Rowe
“I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious - unless he purposely shut the eyes of his mind and keep them shut by force”
Mark Twain
“A religious person is devout in the sense that he has no doubt about the significance of those superpersonal objects and goals which neither require nor are capable of rational foundation”
Albert Einstein
“After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - This is a somewhat new kind of religion”
“My feeling is religious insofar as I am imbued with the consciousness of the insufficiency of the human mind to understand more deeply the harmony of the Universe which we try to formulate as "laws of nature”
