The power of God is the worship He inspires.... The worship of God is not a rule of safety - it is an adventure of the spirit, a flight after the unattainable. The death of religion comes with the repression of the high hope of adventure. (Alfred North Whitehead)

Paul Kurtz

All outward forms of religion are almost useless, and are the causes of endless strife.... Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest.

Ignatius of Antioch

What is dying? Just what it is to put off a garment. For the body is about the soul as a garment; and after laying this aside for a short time by means of death, we shall resume it again with more splendor.

John Chrysostom
