""I often debate with evolutionists because I believe that they are narrow mindedly and dogmatically accepting evolution without questioning it. I don't really care how God did what He did. I know He did it.""

seems reasonable

Brainwashing in moderation is bad enough.

Margaret: Promise me, Henry!
Faust: What I can!
Margaret: How do you feel about religion? Tell me, pray.
You are a dear, good-hearted man,
But I believe you've little good of it to say.
Faust: Hush, hush, my child! You feel my love for you.
For those I love, I'd give my blood and body too,
Would no one of his feelings or of church bereave.
Margaret: That's not enough. We must believe!
Faust: Must we?
Margaret: Ah, could I but impress you, Henry dear!
The Holy Sacraments you also don't revere.
Faust: I do revere them.
Margaret: But without desire, alas!
It's long since you confessed or went to mass.
Do you believe in God?
Faust: My darling, who dare say:
"I believe in God"? You may
Ask priest or sage, and you'll receive
What only seems to mock and stay
The asker.
Margaret: So you don't believe?
Faust: Sweet vision, don't misunderstand me now!
Who dare name Him?
And who avow:
"I believe in Him?"
Who feels and would
Have hardihood
To say: "I don't believe in Him?"
The All-Enfolder,
The All-Upholder,
Enfolds, upholds He not
You, me, Himself?
Do not the heavens over-arch us yonder?
Does not the earth lie firm beneath?
Do not eternal stars rise friendly
Looking down upon us?
Look I not, eye in eye, on you,
And do not all things throng
Toward your head and heart,
Weaving in mystery eternal,
Invisible, visible, near to you?
Fill up your heart with it, great though it is,
And when you're wholly in the feeling, in its bliss,
Name it then as you will,
Name it Happiness! Heart! Love! God!
I have no name for that!
Feeling is all in all;
Name is but sound and smoke,
Beclouding Heaven's glow.
Margaret: That's all quite nice and good to know;
Much the same way the preacher talks of it,
Only in words that differ just a bit.
Faust: Wherever the light of Heaven doth shine,
All hearts repeat it, everywhere, and each
In its own speech;
Then why not I in mine?
Margaret: To hear it thus, it's passable, and still I doubt it;
In spite of it all there is some hitch about it,
For you have no Christianity.
Faust: Dear child!

on car radio, about 1:19:40:
"The most religious country in the world is India.
The most irreligious country in the world is Sweden.
We are a nation of Indians ruled by Swedes!"

I don't really understand this quote in the movie, but I guess that's expected (propoganda). Those in power can't even get elected without being religious. A secular government is the only way a "free" country can operate anyways. Fanatics tend to want theocracies though I guess.

It's also ironic that Sweden has one of ther highest standards of living in the world and India one of the lowest.

"Lightning damages Jesus statue"

http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_5944929?source%3Dpoll.3AC27EC5B8BA9A6FF6D40C6A78375503.html

Is Allah showing his anger? Maybe it's Thor or Zeus doing what they do best

Is there a scientific explanation?
