Quotations
Religion
We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
- Deep Trivedi
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
- Philip Pullman
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
- Rainer Maria Rilke
I have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.

Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.

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
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

- Alan Watts
Myth is what we call other people's religion.
- Joseph Campbell
