I hold that religion and faith are two different things.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a distinction between religion and faith. It implies that religion entails certain rituals, practices, and doctrines, while faith refers to an individual's personal belief and trust in something higher or greater than oneself. In essence, one can have faith without subscribing to any religious institution or organized system of beliefs. This perspective acknowledges the potential divergence between organized religion and the personal convictions individuals may hold, emphasizing the autonomy and individuality of faith.
