Plato's philosophy is a dignified preface to future religion.
Religion and morals are symmetrically opposed, just like poetry and philosophy.
Religion is absolutely unfathomable. Always and everywhere one can dig more deeply into infinities.
He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.
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.
When ideas become gods, consciousness of harmony becomes devotion, humility, and hope.
Set religion free, and a new humanity will begin.
Every relationship of man to the infinite is religion, namely of a man in the full abundance of his humanity. Whenever a mathematician calculates infinity, that, to be sure, is not religion. Infinity conceived in this abundance is the Godhead.
Only through religion can logic develop into philosophy, only from this source stems that which makes philosophy more than science. And without religion we will have only novels, or the triviality today called belles lettres instead of an eternally rich and infinite poetry.
Religion is usually nothing but a supplement to or even a substitute for education, and nothing is religious in the strict sense which is not a product of freedom. Thus one can say: The freer, the more religious; and the more education, the less religion.
