I'm very interested in religion as something to study, but I'm not a religious person in the slightest.

Religion leaves no room for human complexity.

Islam is a violent, I was going to say religion, but it's not a religion. It's a political system. It's a violent political system bent on the overthrow of the governments of the world and world domination. That is the ultimate aim.

Plato's philosophy is a dignified preface to future religion.

He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.
