"Once I entered the fold, so to speak, I would occasionally run across someone who seemed to truly know God, and I realized that religion, like a bad toupee or a face lift gone sour, is only obvious when it's done badly." -- Nevada Barr, in Seeking Enlightenment Hat by Hat, A Skeptic's Path to Religion (emphasis added by [info] - personal twistedchick when she quoted this earlier)

And yes, I do realize that using this quotation one could fall into a "no true Scotsman" fallacy, if one uses it as a test of religion-not-done-badly rather than an interesting observation about some religious people.
