The word “religion” has been hi-jacked and debased by the priests of faiths like these, until now it has become a dirty word amongst intelligent, right-thinking people in the Western world. The word “religion” springs from roots meaning piety, the Latin religio, the opposite idea to negligens, negligent, uncaring, unaware. It also springs from a root meaning to join together things that are separate, which in fact is the same meaning as the word “yoga” (compare the English word yoke, which ties oxen together, for example). So religion is a word which describes the process of becoming aware and unified, of joining together all things which are diverse; it is the union of body and spirit, self and not-self, human and god.

إن عمليات التفسير والتأويل ليست في الحقيقة أنشطة مفارقة لبنية النصوص؛ إذ إنها تتفاعل تاريخياً وإنسانياً مع النص، بحيث يكون الحديث عن "النص الخام" وهماً يتصوره البعض، في محاولة لنفي الإنساني وعزله عن الإلهي.
وفي النهاية فإن "العقائد" القرآنية التي خاطبت المعاصرين لفترة التأسيس في حاجة دائمة إلى الصياغة الفكرية الإنسانية؛ لأن ما يخاطب جيلاً في سياق ثقافي بعينه يعجز عن مخاطبة جيل آخر في سياق آخر، فأين "الإلهي" و"الإنساني" في "الإسلام" الحي التاريخي الذي نتواصل معه عبر بنية التراث؟

It is now generally admitted, at any rate by philosophers, that the existence of a being having the attributes which define the god of any non-animistic religion cannot be demonstratively proved... [A]ll utterances about the nature of God are nonsensical.

It’s a strange myth that atheists have nothing to live for. It’s the opposite. We have nothing to die for. We have everything to live for.
