The one who on demand of time, situation and circumstances can carry out an
act whenever, whatever, however is necessary for the benefit of all...is religious;
the rest all are irreligious.

Religion is just mind control.
- George Carlin

You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
- Scriptures

The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.
- Avicenna

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

are you and what kind of saints are these?
- Deep Trivedi

Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.

A prophet is not someone with special visions, just someone blind to most of what others see.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb

What looks like politics, and imagines itself to be political, will one day unmask itself as a religious movement.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
- Dalai Lama

A priest once quoted to me the Roman saying that a religion is dead when the priests laugh at each other across the altar. I always laugh at the altar, be it Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist, because real religion is the transformation of anxiety into laughter.
- Alan Wilson Watts
