Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
from Mohandas K Gandhi
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
from Mohandas K Gandhi
In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.
from Mark Twain in Autobiography (1959)
When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow.
from Anais Nin
At least two thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity, idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religious or political idols.
from Aldous Huxley
