Religion
Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.
- Issac Asimov
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

Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.

- Alan Wilson Watts
