Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from

I am for religion, against religions.
-Victor Hugo
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved

-Deep Trivedi
It was the experience of mystery -- even if mixed with fear -- that engendered religion.
-Albert Einstein
I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Singh"
You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
-Scriptures "Tao Te Ching 14"
God has no religion.

-Scriptures "Bhagavata Purana"
Don’t tell me about your god with your words. Show me about your god with your actions.
-Steve Maraboli
"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
