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
Quotations
Religion
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"
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.

All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
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

When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity; when many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.
