Quotations
Religion
Don't know why religious people and their religious sentiments are so weak that
they get hurt every now and then... As such it is understandable, the slightest
tremor is enough to cause the debilitated structures to collapse.
-Deep Trivedi
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
-Mahatma Gandhi
The minute you get a religion you stop thinking. Believe in one thing too much and you have no room for new ideas.

"he October Country"
The one who on demand of time, situation and circumstances can carry out an
act whenever, whatever, however is necessary for the benefit of all...is religious;
the rest all are irreligious.

Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
-Deep Trivedi
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.
-Karl Marx
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
-Epictetus
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
