Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Religion
-Seneca the Younger "Seneca the Younger"
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 have a problem with people who take the Constitution loosely and the Bible literally.
-Bill Maher
Don’t tell me about your god with your words. Show me about your god with your actions.
-Steve Maraboli
"Life, the Truth, and Being Free"
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
The religious scriptures are thousands of years old. Don't know since when
they have been engaged in the upliftment of mankind. But still, considering the
enormity of the pains and problems of human beings, they have been proved
miserable failures. Now, it is high time...that new ways of thinking be adopted.
-Deep Trivedi
I hate organized religion. I hate that people use it to justify their crappy, bigoted beliefs.
-Hannah Harrington
"Saving June"
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
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.
-A Spiritual Leader "Swami Nikhilananda"
I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching.
