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
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
-Mahatma Gandhi
I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
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
There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
