Religion

The notion that faith in God is to be rewarded by an eternity of bliss, while a dependence upon reason, observation, and experience merits everlasting pain, is too absurd for refutation, and can be relieved only by that unhappy mixture of insanity and ignorance called ‘faith’. - Robert Ingersoll

Is it not strange that mankind should so willingly battle for religion and so unwillingly live according to its precepts? - Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

If a religion is not universal, it cannot be eternal. A narrow religion, a sectarian religion, an exclusive religion can live only for a limited time and a limited purpose. - Sri Aurobindo
