Quotations
Religion
I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
-Philip Pullman
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
-Deep Trivedi
How can living life to the fullest with much passion, fun and happiness or moving
towards success, ever be irreligious? Irreligiousness itself begins with renouncing
the things out of fear.
-Deep Trivedi
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
-Jorge Luis Borges
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
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
The word Christianity is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.
-Hannah Harrington
