It is very reasonable to worry about the harm done by organized religion, and to prefer looser and more private arrangements. Mary Douglas

Organized religion: the world's largest pyramid scheme.

Bernard Katz

I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.

Neil Young

I don't necessarily believe in organized religion.

Will Smith

It is very reasonable to worry about the harm done by organized religion, and to prefer looser and more private arrangements.

Mary Douglas

I also don't have organized religion on Pern. I figured - since there were four holy wars going on at the time of writing - that religion was one problem Pern didn't need.

Anne McCaffrey

I think there's been a big problem between religion, or organized religion, and spirituality.

Dave Davies

If organized religion has become less relevant, it's not because churches have held fast to their creedal beliefs - it's because they've held fast to their conventional structures, programs, roles and routines.

Gary Hamel

Just in our lifetime our society has become looser and more private, it becomes extremely difficult to hold to any permanent commitment whatever, least of all to organized religion.

I think quite a bit of organized religion has become big business. Jesus Christ never sold the word of God. He never gave a sermon and then said, 'For $8.99, you can buy the CD.'

I see no way out of the problems that organized religion and tribalism create other than humans just becoming more honest and fully aware of themselves.

Well, I think indigenous peoples have ways of living on the Earth that they've had forever. And they've been overrun by organized religion, which has had a lot of money and power.

Alice Walker

I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say 'him' rather than 'her.' Maybe it's because of my generation, but I don't like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.

Julia Child

Although both sides of my family were religious, I was never forced to practice the Jewish faith. I did not really rebel against it, but then, as today, I disliked organized religion. I have a strange inhibition about praying with others.

Georg Solti

My biggest problem with organized religion is that God has been imagined as a human being with emotions. I feel if you let go of that, then it's possible to see God as a force, to connect to him or her spiritually.

Christopher Durang

Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business.

Jesse Ventura

It is certainly true that writers take a stance at some variance from organized religion. This has not always been true. But since the romantic movement - and I'm referring now exclusively to poetry - the emphasis has been on the individual imagination defined against, rather than in terms of, any orthodoxy.

Eavan Boland

If organized religion is the opium of the masses, then disorganized religion is the marijuana of the lunatic fringe.

Nothing has done more to separate and divide human beings one from another than exclusivist organized religion.

Neale Donald Walsch

I wear the Jewish star, but I'm not - I haven't converted to Judaism, and I'm not - I'm not - I'm not Jewish in the conventional sense because the Kaballah is a belief system that predates religion and predates Judaism as an organized religion.

Madonna Ciccone
