Quotations
Religion
When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity; when many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion.
-Robert M. Pirsig
What is religion?
It is compassion for all things which have life.
-Hitopadesa "Hitopadesa"
Those who think religion is about belief don’t understand religion, and don’t understand belief.
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Since ages, there has been a nexus between the religious heads and politicians.
None of them are artists or scientists. Still oppressing and creating conflicts
among people, both have harboured ambitions to become big from the very
beginning. It has made their union so strong that they are inseparable now.
-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.
-Deep Trivedi
The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself.
-Richard Francis Burton
The first sign that you are becoming religious is that you are becoming cheerful.
-Swami Vivekananda
