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.
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death… Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone.
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
Religious gurus are managing their businesses by misleading the world, but
it is a smaller crime. Their greater crime is; not only are they suppressing the
qualities and philosophies of great people, but are also running their businesses
by linking them to useless miracles.
-Deep Trivedi
I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
-Dwight Lyman Moody
