Quotations
Religion
Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death… Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone.
- A Spiritual Leader
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.
- Epictetus
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.
- Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.
- Voltaire
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
- Napoleon Bonaparte

The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
- Deep Trivedi
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
- Alan Watts
