Every man, either to his terror or consolation, has some sense of religion.

Some people are that - more than a parent, more than a role model, more than anything less than a religion.

Even the weakest disputant is made so conceited by what he calls religion, as to think himself wiser than the wisest who think differently from him.

Religion which requires persecution to sustain, it is of the devil's propagation.

I first became interested in women and religion when I was one of the few women doing graduate work in Religious Studies at Yale University in the late 1960's.
