-Robert G. Ingersoll
Earlier our spending was only confined to offerings made at the temples. But

Why does a human being have to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Buddhist?

too.
-Deep Trivedi

and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
-Deep Trivedi
The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.

in understanding all the other truths of life. This is the reason why the world is full
of mentally and intelligently blind people.
