I think people often come to the synagogue, mosque, the church looking for God, and what we give them is religion.

Summary

This quote suggests that many people seek a connection with a higher power when they engage in religious practices at places like synagogues, mosques, and churches. However, instead of finding a direct connection to God, they often encounter religious customs, traditions, and rituals that define and govern their faith. The quote implies that religious institutions may sometimes focus more on the mechanics and structure of religion, inadvertently subduing the spiritual experience that individuals are truly seeking.
