Religion is the root cause of all evil. The present-day methods of worship are no different from those of the savage; the method of supplication has changed with the advance of the years, but the fundamental ideas at the base of all worship are just as crude today as they were 4000 years ago. Religion and Gods are handy tools for the mullahs,pujaris and politicians to exploit the weak people. `

All religions have a way of life and try to please their Gods so hindusim is the same as other religions. Had the idea of a supernatural force been allowed to die in the Dark Ages, as it surely would have, as man's mind expanded and developed, humanity would today find itself more advanced on the road to progress. But as it was, the myth of religion was foisted on the superstitious brain, and man resigned himself to his fate, and lived in such a manner as to please this hypothetical supernatural being. The inevitable result was abject misery, both material and spiritual.

Hinduism cannot be termed as a religion as it does not demand to worship or pray any God.It was not invented by any prophet.Beliving or disbeliving in supernatural is left to one's own pereception and teaches to respect everyone's perception.No facism. But you cannot say the same to Islam or Christianity which is based on faith of Allah & Jesus(Wheather God or His messenger).

Christians & Muslims should be where their religion originated. Since they have intruded and settled in India they should act accordingly. Basically Hindus constitute this country. With one wife and a small family if they form a larger part of the population definetly this country is theirs. So their sentiments and beliefs have to be respected.

Man is fast attaining a mastery of his environment, and his religious creeds are becoming as irrational to him as the witchcraft delusion. Religion with its burden of fear ties him to the dead ages. But knowledge not only supplies him with power, but also furnishes him with courage, and that courage will aid him in freeing himself from that fear--religion. Religion is doomed to occupy the same place in history as the institution of slavery. Lies and imposture, no matter how powerfully sustained, can be dispelled by knowledge. Knowledge and courage spell the doom of religion.
