If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...
Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits
and sannyasins?

Quotations
Religion
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
-Thomas Paine
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
-Deep Trivedi
Everyone is proud of his caste and religion. Please for once, observe yourself
and the people around you carefully - the pride will disappear by itself. And only
then, embracing the world you will be able to tread the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.
-Abu'l Ala Al Ma'arri
There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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
My best advice to anyone who wants to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can.
-Frank Zappa
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
