-David Mitchell
"The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet"
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.

"The October Country"
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
God has no religion.
-Mahatma Gandhi
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
-Avicenna
Hindu religion, where all gods are "kings" meaning the ones who look after the

ashrams from others donations, as religious?
-Deep Trivedi
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
Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
