Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.
-Lenny Bruce
Nothing is more disastrous for a human being than 'self-reproach'. Right from
self-confidence to your existence, it shatters everything. Yet these religious
gurus, ignorant of this science of mind, in order to run their businesses keep
feeding the feeling of sinfulness in people.
-Deep Trivedi
I am for religion, against religions.
-Victor Hugo
There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.
-George Bernard Shaw
God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.
We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love.
-David Mitchell
"The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet"

The role of religion is to make one righteous and loving. Politics means caring for people and their welfare. When religion and politics don’t coexist then you have corrupt politicians and pseudo-religious leaders.
