“…religion is the teachings of the Lord God…”

Religion… is not a series of beliefs, a set of customs; religion is the teachings of the Lord God, teachings which constitute the very life of humankind, which urge high thoughts upon the mind, refine the character, and lay the groundwork for man’s everlasting honour. 
- 'Abdu'l-Bahá  (‘Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá’)
