Bertrand Arthur William Russell a Philosper/mathmatician and Noble Laurete wrote a book "Why I am not a Christian ? It is widely read book !"Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. [%u2026] A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men."After that many have been copying Russel !All so called Gurus who influence western society follow the Budhdha Doctrine !What Budhdha said more than 2500 years ago is still relevant!All so called modern Gurus are merely copycat of that budhdha doctrine!Playing with words is something and coming with new innovative theolgy/doctrine beneficial to mankind something! Merely saying that I am not Hindu becuase some western are calling him antichrist does not appeal atleast to me!
