Religion
-Seneca the Younger "Seneca the Younger"
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.
-Khalil Gibran
The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
-Avicenna
Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
The unsuccessful person falls for the ritualistic hypocrisies of religion. Such
hypocrisies give birth to false hopes, and false hopes lead to performing wrong
deeds. Wrong karma induces more sorrows; and more the miseries, more the
person falls for religious hypocrisies. Such a sorry state of human beings is
solely owed to being trapped in this vicious circle.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.
-Ambrose Bierce
Religion is just mind control.
-George Carlin
Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.
-George Carlin
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
-Swami Vivekananda
