Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.

About This Quote

Sometimes religion gets in the way of God. The idea in this quote is that when you are in a place of ultimate despair, your religion can actually help you to feel better. If you are in a situation where you are hurting, your religious beliefs can be an ally. It is not about being religious in the sense of having particular religious beliefs, but rather about having faith in something bigger than yourself.

You can be religious in the sense of believing that your god will help you when you are in need. When people feel powerless, they often turn to their god for help.
