Religion is just mind control.

I’ll wear two swords, a sword of shakti (power) and a sword of bhakti (meditation).
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.

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.

The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
-Deep Trivedi

The foundation of Hindu religion has been laid on the pillar of tolerance. It
has revered all the rebels like Buddha, Kabira, Shankaracharya, Chanakya,
Dayanand Saraswati who had opposed the prevalent hypocrisies in their times.
It didn't kill them the way reformers like Jesus, Socrates or Mansoor were...
Then where did this Hindu fanaticism emerge from?... Perhaps in order to make
their businesses survive, it is being propagated by the Hindu religious heads.
