Quotations
Religion
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

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"
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.

Myth is what we call other people's religion.
-Joseph Campbell
Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams
by inculcating the unnecessary feeling of 'sinfulness' in you. What kind of Hindu
are you and what kind of saints are these?
-Deep Trivedi
What is religion?
