"Practically speaking, your religion is the story you tell about your life." ― Andrew Greeley Topic(s): Religion More From Andrew Greeley "Well, religion has been passed down through the years by stories people tell around the campfire. Stories about God, stories about love. Stories about good spirits and evil spirits." "The leadership lost its nerve. Instead of taking the lead in the reform movement… they pulled the plug on it. They tried and are still trying to return the church to the dry ice of the previous century and a half." "I think the real problem for American religion are those minority of fundamentalists who try to identify political policies with religion." More In Religion "True Americanism is opposed utterly to any political divisions resting on race and religion."― Henry Cabot Lodge "I’m more than open to hope, but I think men and women have a difficult time dealing with each other and often take the low road."― Neil LaBute "Science can purify religion from error and superstition. Religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes."― Pope John Paul II
