-Dalai Lama
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.

Religion is based primarily and mainly upon fear.
-Bertrand Russell
We are so interested in religion that first we put the person who has come to
awaken us to sleep. Then making him God, we establish such a religion around
him that we don't face any obstacle in perpetrating the violence, jealousy, partiality,
lies, cheating, fraud or pretence as we desire; and simultaneously adhering to
few hypocrisies, also remain proud of being religious.
-Deep Trivedi
If I talk about the Hindu religion, all their gods are kings and warriors (kshatriya)...
Then when and how did the reins of religion get into the hands of these pundits
and sannyasins?
-Deep Trivedi
The whole purpose of religion is to facilitate love and compassion, patience, tolerance, humility, and forgiveness.
-Dalai Lama Xiv
When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity; when many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.
