Quotations
Religion
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
The biggest problem of the world is the existence of the 50 million odd priests,
monks and the heads of various religious institutions, who in the pretext of being
religious, survive at others' mercy without doing anything fruitful themselves.
If they are compelled to do even farming, I promise that overnight the rate of
grains all across the world will almost be halved.
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same

that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
-Deep Trivedi
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
"The Eyre Affair"
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.
-Garrison Keillor
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
