7 III, 187 | must begin by showing that religion is not contrary to reason;
8 III, 194 | least learn what is the religion they attack, before attacking
9 III, 194 | before attacking it. If this religion boasted of having a clear
10 III, 194 | truth, it is the glory of religion to have for enemies men
11 III, 194 | which they have for doubting religion, and they will say to you
12 III, 194 | needs all the charity of the religion which they despise, not
13 III, 194 | folly. But because this religion obliges us always to regard
14 III, 194 | convinced of the proofs of a religion so divine, which I have
15 III, 195 | proofs of the Christian religion, I find it necessary to

20 III, 234 | there is more certainty in religion than there is as to whether

28 IV, 251 | common people. The Christian religion alone is adapted to all,
29 IV, 273 | everything to reason, our religion will have no mysterious
30 IV, 273 | principles of reason, our religion will be absurd and ridiculous.~
31 IV, 282 | to whom God has imparted religion by intuition are very fortunate
32 IV, 285 | 285. Religion is suited to all kinds of
33 IV, 285 | establishment, and this religion is such that its very establishment
34 IV, 286 | all that they hear of our religion conforms to it. They feel
35 IV, 286 | with Him. And they hear our religion say that men must love God
36 IV, 287 | nevertheless judge of their religion as well as those who have
37 IV, 287 | those who know the proofs of religion will prove without difficulty
38 IV, 289 | Proof.—1. The Christian religion, by its establishment, having

46 VI, 424 | me from the knowledge of religion, have led me most quickly
47 VII, 430 | so evident that the true religion must necessarily teach us
48 VII, 430 | remedy for our lusts? What religion, then, will teach us to
49 VII, 430 | cure pride and lust? What religion will, in fact, teach us

52 VII, 433 | whole nature of man.—That a religion may be true, it must have
53 VII, 433 | the reason of both. What religion but the Christian has known

55 VII, 435 | Academicians, etc.~The Christian religion alone has been able to cure
56 VII, 435 | those whom it condemns, religion so justly tempers fear with

58 VII, 442 | good, true virtue, and true religion, are things of which the
59 VII, 443 | be surprised to see that religion only makes us know profoundly
60 VII, 444 | 444. This religion taught to her children what
61 VII, 450 | we have but esteem for a religion which knows so well the
62 VII, 450 | desire for the truth of a religion which promises remedies
63 VII, 468 | 468. No other religion has proposed to men to hate
64 VII, 468 | hate themselves. No other religion, then, can please those
65 VII, 468 | they had never heard of the religion of a God humiliated, would
66 VII, 470 | picture to themselves. True religion consists in annihilating
67 VII, 487 | 487. Every religion is false which, as to its
68 VII, 489 | everything for Him. The true religion, then, must teach us to
69 VII, 489 | object but ourselves, the religion which instructs us in these
70 VII, 491 | 491. The true religion must have as a characteristic
71 VII, 491 | very just, and yet no other religion has commanded this; ours
72 VII, 491 | one is prayer. No other religion has asked of God to love
73 VII, 492 | we must get rid.~Yet no religion has indicated that this
74 VII, 493 | 493. The true religion teaches our duties; our
75 VII, 494 | 494. The true religion must teach greatness and

80 VIII, 556 | that if there be a true religion on earth, the course of
81 VIII, 556 | establishment and the greatness of religion. Men must have within them
82 VIII, 556 | feelings suited to what religion teaches us. And, finally,
83 VIII, 556 | teaches us. And, finally, religion must so be the object and
84 VIII, 556 | knows the principles of religion can give an explanation
85 VIII, 556 | to revile the Christian religion, because they misunderstand
86 VIII, 556 | removed from the Christian religion as atheism, which is its
87 VIII, 556 | they conclude that this religion is not true, because they
88 VIII, 556 | nothing against the Christian religion, which properly consists

90 VIII, 556 | know them. The Christian religion does this; it is in this
91 VIII, 556 | two chief points of this religion: Jesus Christ is end of
92 VIII, 556 | things which the Christian religion abhors almost equally.~Without

98 VIII, 565 | in the very obscurity of religion, in the little light we
99 VIII, 574 | 574. Greatness.—Religion is so great a thing that
100 VIII, 578 | God had permitted only one religion, it has been too easily
101 VIII, 585 | If there were only one religion, God would indeed be manifest.
102 VIII, 585 | were no martyrs but in our religion.~God being thus hidden,
103 VIII, 585 | being thus hidden, every religion which does not affirm that
104 VIII, 585 | hidden is not true; and every religion which does not give the
105 VIII, 585 | is not instructive. Our religion does all this: Vere tu es
106 VIII, 587 | 587. This religion, so great in miracles, saints,
107 VIII, 587 | without this power. Thus our religion is foolish in respect to
108 VIII, 588 | 588. Our religion is wise and foolish. Wise,

110 IX, 589 | religion is not the only religion.—So far is this from being

112 IX, 601 | meddled with?~The Mahometan religion has for a foundation the
113 IX, 601 | held out by him?~The Jewish religion must be differently regarded
114 IX, 601 | the Holy Bible. (And all religion is the same; for the Christian

123 IX, 607 | Whoever judges of the Jewish religion by its coarser forms will

125 IX, 607 | Such is not the Christian religion, nor the Jewish. True Jews

127 IX, 609 | one only God of natural religion; among the Jews, the carnal,

133 IX, 613 | But the fact that this religion has always maintained itself,
134 IX, 614 | admitted that the Christian religion has something astonishing
135 IX, 618 | 619. I see the Christian religion founded upon a preceding

137 IX, 618 | foundations of the Christian religion which are beyond doubt and
138 IX, 618 | equally have rejected the religion of Mahomet and of China,

146 XII, 736 | find this succession, this religion, wholly divine in its authority,
147 XII, 782 | together to destroy this religion at its birth. (Proph.: Quare
