The first requisite for the happiness of the people is the abolition of religion.

Quotations
Religion
Question is, why did the truly "intelligent" people distance themselves from
the great personalities like Krishna, Jesus and Buddha? Because, in order to
strengthen their individual businesses, religious gurus associated miracles with
them. Now, an intelligent person may agree with anything but can never accept
'miracles'.
-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"
What is religion? The science of mind and life. Who are Buddha, Krishna and
Christ? The doctors of our mind and life.
-Deep Trivedi
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.
-J. Krishnamurti "J. Krishnamurti"
Progress is born of doubt and inquiry. The Church never doubts, never inquires. To doubt is heresy, to inquire is to admit that you do not know—the Church does neither.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
Irrevocable commitment to any religion is not only intellectual suicide; it is positive Unfaith because it closes the mind to any new vision of the world. Faith is, above all, openness — an act of trust in the unknown.
-Alan Watts
Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy the mad daughter of a wise mother. These daughters have too long dominated the earth.
-Voltaire
How profound is your religious depth can be assessed from the number of
assurances and blessings you still need for your life.
-Deep Trivedi
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
