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

other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.

-Scriptures "Tao Te Ching 14"
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
