and diverse beliefs for various religions ever be termed as being religious?

Quotations
Religion
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte

nor the ones who have relinquished wealth for religion can be called 'free from
worldly attachments'.

failures of his life. The one who entrusts it to rituals, worship, astrology, family or
friends...is irreligious.

-Lenny Bruce
Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from
self-confidence to your existence, it shatters everything. Yet these religious
gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep
feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
