For me sport was a religion... with religious sentiment.

Disappointment over nationalistic authoritarian regimes may have contributed to the fact that today religion offers a new and subjectively more convincing language for old political orientations.

The first act of religion, therefore, concerns those things which are communicated to us from God. The other concerns those things which we yield to God.

I have always said that often the religion you were born with becomes more important to you as you see the universality of truth.

Billions of people don't practice a religion at all.
