'Yes' is theism and 'No' is atheism. In life the number of things that you have firmly
abstained from...shows how irreligious you are. The meaning of irreligiousness
itself is the denial of God's creations.

Quotations
Religion
One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.
-Thomas Paine
"The Age Of Reason"
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
-Richard Dawkins
"The God Delusion"

-C. S. Lewis "C. S. Lewis"
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams
by inculcating the unnecessary feeling of 'sinfulness' in you. What kind of Hindu
are you and what kind of saints are these?
-Deep Trivedi
I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
-A Spiritual Leader "Guru Hargobind Singh"
The biggest trick that we, the religious gurus have played is; the ones who came
to destroy us, we placed them only as gods before you. Now say, how could our
shutters ever be pulled down?
-Deep Trivedi
