I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.

"Saving June"
Quotations
Religion
We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
-Deep Trivedi
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
A religious person knows how to embrace things in a right manner; an irreligious
person simply renounces things out of "fear".
-Deep Trivedi
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
-Deep Trivedi
Religious people fear hell -- Spiritual people have walked through it.
-Frank Warren
"PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God"
Religion in fact is not knowledge, but a faith and aspiration.
-Sri Aurobindo
Hindu religion has accepted the ones, wearing necklaces of human skulls, having
wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
-Seneca the Younger "Seneca the Younger"
Since like a horse you have blind-folded yourself from both the sides, you cannot
see anything other than your own religion and culture; and that is why, your
religious gurus have been feeding you dry grass covering your eyes with green
glasses.
-Deep Trivedi
