The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.

Quotations
Religion

-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Religion in fact is not knowledge, but a faith and aspiration.
-Sri Aurobindo
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
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
-George Bernard Shaw
Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams
by inculcating the unnecessary feeling of 'sinfulness' in you. What kind of Hindu
are you and what kind of saints are these?
-Deep Trivedi
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.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
We sing the glory of Sri Krishna, who is all truth, all consciousness and all bliss, who is responsible for creation, sustenance and destruction of the universe, and who puts an end to the threefold agony.
-Scriptures "Padma Purana"
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
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But
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.
-Deep Trivedi
