“Well, the first time I ran into the term religion, people were asking whether you had any. You know, some people had religion and some people didn't have religion.”

And I used to think that proof that I had religion was whether I knew how to sing all of the songs.
The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.
I also like to look at the dynamic that takes place between religion and science because, in a way, both are asking the same questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where are we going? The methodologies are diametrically opposed, but their motivation is the same the wellspring is the same in both cases.
Most people I know are not hard-core religious people. They are what I would call 'lightly religious.' So I don't buy the notion that we can't laugh about religion in America.
