More In Religion "A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion."― Mahatma Gandhi "It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late."― Pearl S. Buck "Zionism was originally a rebellion against religious Judaism and the PLO Charter was essentially secularist. But because the conflict was allowed to fester without a resolution, religion got sucked into the escalating cycle of violence and became part of the problem."― Karen Armstrong
