Quotations
Religion
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.

-Christopher Paolini
"Brisingr"
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.

"Self-Reliance and Other Essays"
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to

them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
-Deep Trivedi
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
"The God Delusion"
The biggest problem of the world is the existence of the 50 million odd priests,
monks and the heads of various religious institutions, who in the pretext of being
religious, survive at others' mercy without doing anything fruitful themselves.

grains all across the world will almost be halved.
-Deep Trivedi
The biggest scourges of human life are fear, false hopes and dependency.
Thanks to the so-called religious hypocrisies, you do not get anything else but
these three.
-Deep Trivedi
Why did the intelligent people of the world lose interest in religion? Because
instead of the talks and teachings of Buddha, Jesus and Krishna, they were
presented with the Bible and Vedas concocted by the religious gurus.
-Deep Trivedi
