Quotations
Religion
If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false
hopes"; then today itself the shutters of all the temples, mosques, churches and
other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
-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
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
-Albert Einstein
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.
-Hannah Harrington
"Saving June"
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
Universal religion has no location in time or space. Its area is infinite, like the God it preaches. It is an experience. It is God-consciousness… All religions are challenged today by a common enemy: the rising tide of skepticism and secularism.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Nikhilananda"
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
