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.
Myth is what we call other people's religion.
-Joseph Campbell
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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

beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
-Deep Trivedi
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
-Dalai Lama
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.

Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
