Only that, which influences everyone everywhere equally is the blessing of God
like sun, moon, air, water and human life. How could having different scriptures
and diverse beliefs for various religions ever be termed as being religious?

Quotations
Religion
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practice the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
-Ramakrishna Paramahamsa "Ramakrishna Paramahamsa"
If you talk of the Hindu religion, majority of their avatars are worldly people...
Then how can these sannyasins be termed religious?
-Deep Trivedi
Anyone who thinks sitting in church can make you a Christian must also think that sitting in a garage can make you a car.
-Garrison Keillor
Religion is something infinitely simple, ingenuous... In the infinite extent of the universe, it is a direction of the heart.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
We are religious gurus. What do we do? Whatever you do, we brand it as a
sin... Meaning, despite being dependent on your donations, we abuse you. Still
this skill of ours works...because there is no dearth of intelligent people in this
world.
-Deep Trivedi
We are quite bizarre ourselves, so are our religious heads too. Merely to satiate
our pride we visit them to listen to good things about our religion and they being
clever take undue advantage of it, pander to our ego and continue to prosper.
This blinds us so much that we stop seeing the negativities of our religion and
positive aspects of other religions. You cannot even imagine what a great loss it
is for you.
-Deep Trivedi
It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.
-Thomas Jefferson
Far better it is for you to say: I am a sinner, than to say: I have no need of religion. The empty can be filled, but the self-intoxicated have no room for God.
-Fulton J. Sheen
"Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary"
Religion isn't the cause of wars, it's the excuse.
-Jasper Fforde
