“Religion is a terrible and opportunistic thing. The fact is that something in it will always attempt to seize on anything in the world that can lever it into an even more secure position of dominance. If the spirit of the time is for slavery, then it is for slavery; if the tendency evolves towards Fascism, it is fascistic. And true to form when protest is the hallmark of an age, the churches turn into abodes of singing nuns with guitars, or earnest young ministers decrying nuclear weapons.”
–- Fred Woodworth, Strike, June, 1984 (from _The Heretic's Handbook of Quotations_)

"Religious exegesis jumps on the bandwagon only after the dust settles. In other words, religion is a whore that only does tricks for those in a position to pay for them, and never challenges its johns."
