now, the greediness of the priests have increased so much that in the name of
assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.

Quotations
Religion
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
A religious person is...the one who accepts the responsibility for the success and
failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.
-Deep Trivedi
The word Christianity is already a misunderstanding - in reality there has been only one Christian, and he died on the Cross.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity; when many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.
-Robert M. Pirsig
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
-Swami Vivekananda
