by Khushwant Singh

People do not judge religions by what their prophets preached or how they lived but by the way their followers practice them.

It is based on the assumption that most people need some kind of faith; that one’s emotional content is provided by the faith one is born into, the rituals of which formed an essential part of one’s upbringing.

God may be easily known, only if it is not necessary to define him.’
