We cannot hope for a society in which formal organized religion dies out. But we can stop behaving as if it was worthy of our collective respect.
A. N. Wilson
Image
Religion has run out of justifications. Thanks to the telescope and the microscope, it no longer offers an explanation of anything important. Where once it used to able, by its total command of a worldview, to prevent the emergence of rivals, it can now only impede and retard-or try to turn back-the measureable advances that we have made.
Christopher Hitchens

... And God, who studies each separate soul, out of commonplace lives makes his beautiful whole.

... a person who is religiously enlightened appears to me to be one who has, to the best of his ability, liberated himself from the fetters of his selfish desires and is preoccupied with thoughts, feelings, and aspirations to which he clings because of their superpersonal value.

Zen is a totally different kind of religion. It brings humanness to religion. It is not bothered about anything superhuman its whole concern is how to make ordinary life a blessing.
Rajneesh
Image
Things divine are not attainable by mortals who understand sensual things.
Zoroaster

Zen is not a religion. There is no room for a cult. There is no dependence on a teacher. There is only learning how to use your own mind and making it strong.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The Old Testament is responsible for more atheism, agnosticism, disbelief - call it what you will - than any book ever written it has emptied more churches than all the counterattractions of cinema, motor bicycle and golf course.

There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To most theistic believers, human life can have no meaning in a universe without God. Quite sincerely, and with understandable yearning for a meaning to their existence, they reject the possibility of no God. In their minds, only a purposeful universe based on God is possible and science can do nothing else but support thistruth.
Victor J. Stenger
Image
People should not rush to change religions. There is real value in finding the spiritual resources you need in your home religion. Even secular humanism has great spiritual resources it is almost like a religion to me.
Dalai Lama
Image
Religion today is not transforming people rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.
