Quotations
Religion
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx

nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from
worldly attachments'.

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
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.

Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But

assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
-Deep Trivedi
If you talk of the Hindu religion, majority of their avatars are worldly people...

-Deep Trivedi
The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender’s inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for everyone else the proper pleasure of ritual.
-C. S. Lewis "C. S. Lewis"
