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
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.

Quotations
Religion
I am for religion, against religions.
-Victor Hugo

Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.

Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.

beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.

"The Nature of Jade"
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
When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.
-Abraham Lincoln
