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.

Quotations
Religion
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
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
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.
-Issac Asimov
The whole world is so-called religious...barring a few intellectuals. But then
where does all the anger, miseries, worries, envy, hatred and failure come from?
... Because, conquering all these feelings is only religiousness.
-Deep Trivedi
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
-Deep Trivedi
To die for religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
-Jorge Luis Borges
Religion in fact is not knowledge, but a faith and aspiration.
-Sri Aurobindo
