About This Quote
Religion is about people. It's not about soul.” This quote, taken from the 1980 movie “Searching for Bobby Fischer,” is a clever statement by the late film critic Roger Ebert. He is stating that it does not matter whether you have a soul or not; what matters is that you believe in something and that you do good things with your life.
