Quotations
Religion
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
-Mahatma Gandhi
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Bani of Guru Gobind Singh"
When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it within.

The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion, and religious men without intelligence.

If putting a 'tilak' on the forehead, wearing a holy thread on the wrist, offering
prayers five times a day or visiting a temple, mosque and church, you could
attain 'Dharma - the religion', the ultimate height of the world, then nothing is
cheaper than religion.
-Deep Trivedi

-Richard Dawkins
"The God Delusion"
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.
-Stephen Covey
