Quotations
Religion
In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand
- Mark Twain
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
- Robert G. Ingersoll
All religions must be tolerated... for every man must get to heaven in his own way.

too.

assurances, they have been robbing people by selling rings, holy threads and
religious rites and rituals.
- Deep Trivedi
