Religion
What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.

The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.

Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
- Deep Trivedi
The word Christianity is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.

A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
- Alan Wilson Watts
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
