Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.

Quotations
Religion
If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
-Deep Trivedi
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
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
-Deep Trivedi
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"
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
The role of religion is to make one righteous and loving. Politics means caring for people and their welfare. When religion and politics don’t coexist then you have corrupt politicians and pseudo-religious leaders.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
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
Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.
-Thomas Paine
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
-Stephen Covey
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.
-Ray Bradbury
