The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender’s inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for everyone else the proper pleasure of ritual.
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of

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

come up instead.
-Deep Trivedi
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.

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