Quotations
Religion
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.

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"

"Death with Interruptions"
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
-Deep Trivedi
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
-Mahatma Gandhi
