The difference between religion and morality lies simply in the classical division of things into the divine and the human, if one only interprets this correctly.

In the world of language, or in other words in the world of art and liberal education, religion necessarily appears as mythology or as Bible.

Set religion free, and a new humanity will begin.

He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.

Plato’s philosophy is a dignified preface to future religion.

Religion is absolutely unfathomable. Always and everywhere one can dig more deeply into infinities.

Religion can emerge in all forms of feeling: here wild anger, there the sweetest pain here consuming hatred, there the childlike smile of serene humility.

Religion must completely encircle the spirit of ethical man like his element, and this luminous chaos of divine thoughts and feelings is called enthusiasm.
