I think the real problem for American religion are those minority of fundamentalists who try to identify political policies with religion.

I subscribe to no religion. But I believe that in the creation of art there can be moments of God.

In every religion there is an element of the supernatural varying with the influence of pure reason over its devotees.

The American Indian was an individualist in religion as in war. He had neither a national army nor an organized church.

When state and religion are one religion becomes a means for the powerful to remain in power.

Then if your movie clicks with real audiences you'll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It's a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office.

The Muslims have as everyone else says the right to practice their religion and they have the right to construct a mosque at ground zero if they wish. What I am saying though is that they should listen to public opinion they should listen to the deep wounds and anguish that this is causing to so many good people.

My view of social media is that it is a set of tools not a religion.

It's not my place to tell you whom to vote for to take any political stand to tell you what religion to believe in. I'm an athlete. I can influence certain things but when I see other athletes and celebrities telling you whom to vote for I actually get a bit offended.

The more you get into any religion it becomes the same. It really becomes how you treat other people and how you get outside yourself. How you look to help other people and how you get out of this 'I me mine' type of thing.

Oh there's going to be debate because you're dealing with the Bible and religion is supposed to be separate from state and that to me is already a conflict before it even hits the gay issue.

No religion can long continue to maintain its purity when the church becomes the subservient vassal of the state.
