One of the people I heard early on in his career was Eric Church. I liked him and his music.

Germany has an established and well-furnished Catholicism, often with employed Catholics who handle the church like a labor union. For them, the church is simply the employer.

The tenet of the separation of church and state is an unconstitutional doctrine.

Obviously I don't really go to church any more - no time.

I disagree strongly with the concept of separation of church and state. It was not written into the Constitution.

I once dieted so religiously I quit eating in church.

Solemnity is proper in church, but things that are proper in church are not necessarily proper outside, and vice versa. For example, I can say a prayer while washing my teeth, but that does not mean I should wash my teeth in church.

There's always the tendency to transform the Church into an ethical agency, and of measuring the Church by the yardstick of social and cultural utility.

I take the teachings of the Catholic Church seriously.

I like going to Church for aesthetic reasons, rather than spiritual ones.

I don't think I met an actual Mormon until college, and by that time, I was wary of them. I knew about the church through school and, secondhand, through non-Mormon friends.

Gospel influences your soul. If you've had church in your background... it's just a part of your musical DNA.

I got baptized in June of 2001, I think. But I always went to church camp, went to church every Sunday, went to Bible class.

I ended up in Broadmeadows orphanage - I don't know how that happened - whether she gave me up for adoption or the church was responsible. Whatever happened, she was a single mum.

I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

I never really liked the Gospel of John because I never could find the humanity of Jesus in it. I thought it presented Jesus as a visitor from another planet; in addition, John's gospel is and has been interpreted as a document that fuels anti-Semitism in the church.

These protesters, opposing me or our church, they're protesting the eternal Word of God, and guess what - they're not going to be successful in toppling the Word of God.

New York is essentially a bazaar, not a Presbyterian church.

My wife and I like to go to church if we're in town. On Sundays, I try to be as chill as I can, whether I'm watching golf or barbecuing.

I've definitely seen huge shifts, but the church is a little afraid of hip-hop, and hip-hop is a little afraid of the church. It's a weird middle area I'm often stuck in.
