Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
Religion has nothing to do with God, worship, temples, mosques or churches;
it is directly related only to the teachings that take the human mind to newer

-Christopher Paolini
"Brisingr"
There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
All the religions of the world, while they may differ in other respects, unitedly proclaim that nothing lives in this world but Truth.
-Mahatma Gandhi
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
-Albert Einstein
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
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
