Well-meaning Americans in the name of freedom have taken freedom away. For the sake of religious tolerance, they’ve forbidden religious practice. – Ronald Reagan	added by Normando 4 months ago
The door of the Free Exercise Clause stands tightly closed against any government regulation of religious beliefs as such.

Brennan	added by Normando 6 months ago
In a free government, the security for civil rights must be the same as that for religious rights. It consists in the one case in the multiplicity of interests, and in the other in the multiplicity of sects. – Alexander Hamilton	added by Normando 11 months ago
However, on religious issues there can be little or no compromise. There is no position on which people are so immovable as their religious beliefs. There is no more powerful ally one can claim in a debate than Jesus Christ, or God, or Allah, or whatever one calls this supreme being. But like any powerful weapon, the use of God's name on one's behalf should be used sparingly. The religious factions that are growing throughout our land are not using their religious clout with wisdom. They are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups on a particular moral issue, they complain, they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. I'm frankly sick and tired of the political preachers across this country telling me as a citizen that if I want to be a moral person, I must believe in 'A,' 'B,' 'C,' and 'D.' Just who do they think they are? And from where do they presume to claim the right to dictate their moral beliefs to me? And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of 'conservatism.' – Barry Goldwater	added by Normando 11 months ago

The interest of the nones will soon outweigh those of the religious right in just a matter of years, nones are going to vote as a bloc and they’re going to be pretty powerful. White evangelicals will eventually be eclipsed by the unaffiliated. – Tina Wray	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I am not a super-religious person, and neither is Trail Aaron. But we both feel that there was something that put us on that trail that day, and I do n’t know if that something knew the struggles that I was going to go through three months later. Or if Patricia Toro It knew that he’s going to need me in his life at one point. But we were there for a reason that day. And I know that my journey these last 17 months would have been a lot different had Trail Aaron not been there. – Patricia Toro It	Found on CNN 1 year ago

More to the point, one cannot understand The Holocaust without understanding the intentions, ideology, and mechanisms that were put in place in 1933. The eugenics movement may have come to a catastrophic crescendo with the Hitler regime, but the political movement, the world-view, the ideology, and the science that aspired to breed humans like prized horses began almost 100 years earlier. More poignantly, the ideology and those legal and governmental mechanisms of a eugenic world-view inevitably lead back to the British and American counterparts that Hitler’s scientists collaborated with. Posterity must gain understanding of the players that made eugenics a respectable scientific and political movement, as Hitler’s regime was able to evade wholesale condemnation in those critical years between 1933 and 1943 precisely because eugenics had gained international acceptance. As this book will evidence, Hitler’s infamous 1933 laws mimicked those already in place in the United States, Britain, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Canada. So what is this scientific and political movement that for 100 years aspired to breed humans like dogs or horses? Eugenics is quite literally, as defined by its principal proponents, an attempt at “directing evolution” by controlling any aspect of human existence that affects human heredity. From its onset, Francis Galton, the cousin of Charles Darwin and the man credited with the creation of the science of eugenics, knew that the cause of eugenics had to be observed with religious fervor and dedication. As the quote on the opening pages of this book illustrates, a eugenicist must “intrude, intrude, intrude.” A vigilant control over anything and everything that affects the gene pool is essential to eugenics. The policies could not allow for the individual to enjoy self-government or self-determination any more than a horse breeder can allow the animals to determine whom to breed with. One simply cannot breed humans like horses without imbuing the state with the level of control a farmer has over its livestock, not only controlling procreation, but also the diet, access to medical services, and living conditions. – A.E. Samaan	added by AlvaroSiman 1 year ago
There’s a kind of a shared human experience in the sense that misogyny is not limited to one religious group. – Javad Hashmi	Found on CNN 1 year ago
[Y]ou’re hearing sharp-edge commentary directed against different groups and religious groups more. And I think that that kind of language stirs people up. – Ken Wainstein	Found on CNN 1 year ago
There's an element of at kind of religious fervor against fossil fuels regardless of what the actual impact is, so, therefore, it's viewed as — if it's electric, it's better, and not really looking at it any more deeply than that. – Brent Bennett	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
I Want To See I want to live in a world where everyone loves everyone, Despite our differences. Where instead of religious rules we go by our morals and what we were taught growing up, Because as a little kid, they teach us that life ahead of us is worth it because we love people, And we help them back u on their feet as they do for us. I want to see an era where we stop fighting over such little things, Because history taught us that fighting leads to war, And war, to death. We don't want to see the people we love die, When we love everyone, and they love us, nobody would need to die, Nobody would need to fight. I want to see leadership found on respect and integrity, For what we've been doing has gotten us nowhere. I want to see a media free of arguments and awful words, If it is meant for entertainment then it should make us all happy rather than sad. I want to see a world where we all see the better in each other. There is no other way to make it all ok. - Anonymous – Anonymous	added by samanthal.26354 1 year ago
One last point! Nothing scares me more than any human being who says, 'I'm not doing this because of my religious beliefs,' because when you look at people's lives who normally say that publicly, you'd throw up at what you saw. You'd throw up at what you saw! I've seen that a million times in a lot of different ways, so don't give me that ... Don't feed me the religious beliefs line. – Getty Images	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
The UAE leadership has been engineering cultural change to support its strategic objectives, embracing ethnic diversity has accompanied the expansion of a global workforce, and interfaith dialogue has aided in countering pan-Islamism and religious extremism. – Anuj Taylor Strap Studios-GPO/Handout/Reuters	Found on CNN 1 year ago
We shouldn’t underscore the significance of this win for freedom and religious liberty – but the vast majority of our military personnel have already been coerced into receiving the COVID-19 vaccine or involuntarily separated, i’m disappointed the NDAA does not include language for a full reinstatement of these individuals into the military. I can assure you in the GOP majority, we’re going to do what’s right and make sure the DoD corrects military records, processes backpay, reinstates full benefits, and ensures a smooth reenlistment process for those servicemembers who want to re-enter after being wrongfully discharged. – Greg Steube	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
This loss has to be reversed. She has to be given the opportunity to seek what was her dream her whole life and not have to give up on her deep religious beliefs. – Darrell Issa	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
