If you think even for a moment, how much valuable resources and precious time
of the world is being eaten up by these so-called religions in exchange of "false
hopes"; then today itself the shutters of all the temples, mosques, churches and
other religious places will be pulled down and many schools and hospitals will
come up instead.
-Deep Trivedi
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.

I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.

Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death… Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone.
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
-Albert Einstein
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
