Religion: Related to ‘Reglio’ or Rule:
"I personally interpret the word religion as being related to ‘reglio’ or rule. You begin with the assumption that everyone is very ignorant, and somebody much wiser comes along and says, “Darling, you’re not old enough to understand. I do understand however, and I want you to believe every word I say.” And you say, “All right, father, I know you love me and wouldn’t mislead me or cause me harm, So I believe you. There you have an exchange that I’d call religious. it is built on subscription to dogma. You’re told what to believe and you learn how to repeat it.”
