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.

like sun, moon, air, water and human life. How could having different scriptures
and diverse beliefs for various religions ever be termed as being religious?
-Deep Trivedi
You look at it, but it is not to be seen; Its name is Formless. You listen to it, but it is not to be heard; Its name is Soundless. You grasp it, but it is not to be held; Its name is Bodiless. These three elude all scrutiny. And hence they blend and become one.
-Scriptures "Tao Te Ching 14"
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
-Albert Einstein

All religions exhort us to cleanse the heart of malice, greed, hate and anger. All religions hold out the gift of Grace as the prize for success in this cleaning process.

I am a religious person, although I am not a believer.
-Philip Pullman
