    “India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Culture’s essential service to a religion is to destroy intellectual idolatry, the recurrent tendency in religion to replace the object of its worship with its present understanding and forms of approach to that object.”
    —Northrop Frye (b. 1912)

    “This religion takes away the courage of thinking of unusual things and prohibits self-examination above all as the most egregious of sins.... It is one step away from protestantism.”
