To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.

I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
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
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But
now, the greediness of the priests have increased so much that in the name of
assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
-Deep Trivedi
When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity; when many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.
-Robert M. Pirsig
The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender’s inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for everyone else the proper pleasure of ritual.
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
-Deep Trivedi
Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?
Because lacking individuality, he is afraid of standing alone in the crowd...
Whereas, being a "Hindu" he feels a sense of security that one billion people are
there with him. The same is the psychology of Muslims, Christians and Buddhists
too.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
