Hindu religion has accepted the ones, wearing necklaces of human skulls, having
wine and opium, and even dance-lovers as their gods. Because Hindu religion
does not believe in abstinence of things but rather, teaching how to have them
in moderation and in the right manner.

Quotations
Religion
The measure in which a person is blind in the field of religion, he is equally blind
in understanding all the other truths of life. This is the reason why the world is full
of mentally and intelligently blind people.
-Deep Trivedi
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
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
-Seneca the Younger "Seneca the Younger"
One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.
-Richard Dawkins
"The God Delusion"
Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.
-Fulton J. Sheen
"Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary"
The role of religion is to make one righteous and loving. Politics means caring for people and their welfare. When religion and politics don’t coexist then you have corrupt politicians and pseudo-religious leaders.
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Sri Sri Ravi Shankar"
Religion is just mind control.
-George Carlin
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
