Quotations
Religion
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
-Seneca the Younger "Seneca the Younger"
Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.

religious rites and rituals.
-Deep Trivedi
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
