God has no religion.

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

Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?

that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
- Deep Trivedi
Restaurants get you in with food to sell you liquor; religions get you in with belief to sell you rules.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
- Nassim Nicholas Taleb
