The role of religion is to make one righteous and loving. Politics means caring for people and their welfare. When religion and politics don’t coexist then you have corrupt politicians and pseudo-religious leaders.
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.

-Dalai Lama Xiv
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
There are many things which are difficult for any wise man to understand... Like

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
-Dalai Lama
Hanuman is the breath of Rama, the breath of God. God is not far away from us but as close as our breath. Symbolically Hanuman represents the breath, our constant companion and aid along the spiritual path.
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
