Ollendorff Center Launches Rational Religion Movement

TENAFLY, N.J. - Oct. 23, 2015 - PRLog -- The Ollendorff Center has launched the Rational Religion movement.

Stephen Ollendorff, President of the Ollendorff Center, in commenting on the launch stated, “Our belief is that in today’s ever-changing world, any credible religious beliefs have to meet these basic three precepts:

·         They have to be Rational

·         They have to be Ethical &

·         They have to be Spiritual

The connection of rationality and religion can also be seen in the interaction between science and religion which can best be summed up by Albert Einstein who stated ‘Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind’, added Ollendorff. “We believe that each religion must try to meet and embrace these three precepts in their own way”, continued Stephen Ollendorff.
