Religions grow when religious leaders die.

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 are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
-Scriptures "Samayasara, 153"
The whole world is so-called religious...barring a few intellectuals. But then
where does all the anger, miseries, worries, envy, hatred and failure come from?
... Because, conquering all these feelings is only religiousness.
-Deep Trivedi
Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
-Lenny Bruce
All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
-D. S. Sarma
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
-Thomas Paine
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
-Richard Dawkins
"There is nothing like a vice or a virtue" and it has been said many a times in the
Bhagavad Gita by Krishna himself. Then why do these saints keep frightening
us everyday by reading out the long list of vices?
-Deep Trivedi
