Quotations
Religion
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
- Swami Vivekananda
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
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
- George Bernard Shaw
Myth is what we call other people's religion.
- Joseph Campbell
'Yes' is theism and 'No' is atheism. In life the number of things that you have firmly
abstained from...shows how irreligious you are. The meaning of irreligiousness
itself is the denial of God's creations.
- Deep Trivedi
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.

Religion. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable.

Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.

All the religions of the world may be good and true. But situated as we are, our own religion is the best for us.
- D. S. Sarma
