We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around

lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
