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.
Perhaps not one religion contains all of the truth of the world. Perhaps every religion contains fragments of the truth, and it is our responsibility to identify those fragments and piece them together.
-Christopher Paolini
"Brisingr"
I am for religion, against religions.
-Victor Hugo
Other than our 'mind', what is it that we have, which we can call our own?
Everything else is gifted by nature and made usable by science. At the same
time, if you talk of joy of mind, it lies in "art". But then it is difficult to understand
that in this process, where do we feel the need for these 'so-called religions'?
-Deep Trivedi
Religion is like a pair of shoes.....Find one that fits for you, but don't make me wear your shoes.
-George Carlin
We must remember that the test of our religious principles lies not just in what we say, not only in our prayers, not even in living blameless lives - but in what we do for others
-Harry S. Truman
To hate man and love god seems to be the sum of all creeds.
-Robert G. Ingersoll
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.
-Napoleon Bonaparte
The three most important things for a human being and his life are time, energy
and money. Religious rites rampantly exploit all three of them.
-Deep Trivedi
Science is the name for transformation brought in the psychology of substances
and religion is the name for the knowledge which transforms the psychology of
human beings. Science can provide material comforts to a human being, but
for mental well-being, one has to change his psychology. Hence, striking a fine
balance between the two is the only way to lead a human being and the world
onto the path of progress.
-Deep Trivedi
