Quotations
Religion
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.

-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
If you talk of the Hindu religion, majority of their avatars are worldly people...

Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
-Mahatma Gandhi
I had a thousand questions to ask God; but when I met him they all fled and didn't seem to matter.
