But it is only there for one reason, for one reason alone. Simple happiness. Simple joy.

John Bennett
So much blood has been shed by the Church because of an omission from the Gospel: 'Ye shall be indifferent as to what your neighbor's religion is.' Not merely tolerant of it, but indifferent to it. Divinity is claimed for many religions; but no religion is great enough or divine enough to add that new law to its code.
Mark Twain

Religions tend to disappear with man's good fortune.
Raymond Queneau
