Hatred and contempt, be it for a thing or a person, has no place in the 'Hindu'
religion... Whereas these so-called Hindu saints are building number of ashrams

Why impress false religion on the world? It will be of no service to it. Why run about for the sake of wealth? You cannot escape from death… Think, O think, you thoughtless fool, you shall have in the end to depart alone.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
Religious gurus are managing their businesses by misleading the world, but
it is a smaller crime. Their greater crime is; not only are they suppressing the
qualities and philosophies of great people, but are also running their businesses
by linking them to useless miracles.

One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us that it is a virtue to be satisfied with not understanding.

"The God Delusion"
Universal religion has no location in time or space. Its area is infinite, like the God it preaches. It is an experience. It is God-consciousness… All religions are challenged today by a common enemy: the rising tide of skepticism and secularism.
Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.
-Karl Marx
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.
