One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.

Quotations
Religion
Religions grow when religious leaders die.
-J. Krishnamurti
How can living life to the fullest with much passion, fun and happiness or moving
towards success, ever be irreligious? Irreligiousness itself begins with renouncing
the things out of fear.
-Deep Trivedi
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
I had a thousand questions to ask God; but when I met him they all fled and didn't seem to matter.
-Christopher Morley
"Inward Ho!"
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
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.
-Voltaire
All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
-D. S. Sarma
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
