What does religion mean to me?

This picture is representative of my answer.

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death." ------- Albert Einstein


Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning. ----- Bill Gates


"The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality." ---- George Bernard Shaw


"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." ----- Blaise Pascal

"The Bible is not my book, and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." --- Abraham Lincoln


"Where knowledge ends, religion begins." ----- Benjamin Disraeli

"Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich." --- Napoleon Bonaparte
