Religion breeds superstition because religion is based on blind belief.+

Religion is a prison of ignorance. People who follow religion are locked up in ignorance.

God in truth is not what people believe and worship. Gods based on blind belief or blind faith are not God in truth.

Religion belongs to the world of feeling emotions. That is why people like it. Religion changes as it appeals to different feelings and emotions. On one pole, the nude saint is admired; at the other, the gorgeously dressed Godmen is revered.

There is no use in quarreling with anyone in matters of religion. There is no need to convince people, let them hold any belief, any imagination they like in that realm. In religion, the question of truth does not arise; only the question of what they believe.

The craving for religion, the fear that not to follow its rites and dogmas will bring punishment, the inability to give up the notion of its truth even when your reason demonstrates its fallacies and absurdities are merely forms of mild obsessions, i.e. a thought constantly repeating itself’ automatically; hence it is a mental disease.

Unless you give up the ideas of heaven and hell, it is impossible to realize the Advaitic truth, which is beyond form, time, and space. The ultimate Truth must be realized here and now, in this very life. Without realizing the ultimate truth, it is not possible to consider the existence of heaven and hell as untrue.

Religion breeds superstition because religion is based on blind belief.

Swami Vivekananda: ~ If superstition enters, the brain is gone. Superstition is our great enemy, but bigotry is worse.

How can you worship the Absolute? That implies two ~ the worshiper and the worshiped, whereas the Absolute is nondual. One can worship his idea of the Absolute only or realize his unity with it when he can’t worship it as apart.

The Upanishads say in effect that: ~ If you believe that the ‘the Soul, the innermost Self’ is one and God (Brahman) is another, you cannot understand Truth.

The religion preaches that God is one and the ways to God are many. It simply tries to lead them to darkness with its dogma and idea of many Gods, which is apart from the Self.

People all over the world in the past and present have accepted the idea of the existence of God.

The fear of God injected by the religion was the root cause of worship, superstitions, and dogmas. The religious belief is passed on to the populace from one generation to the next.

Realizing the single stuff of which this universe in which you exist is made, is Truth realization, or Self-realization, or God-realization.

When the expression itself is illusory, then the evolution within the illusory expression is bound to be an illusion. Thus, the evolution theory holds no water from the standpoint of the invisible Soul, the Self.

The belief system preaches that God is one and the ways to God are many. It simply tries to lead them to darkness with its dogma and idea of many Gods, which is apart from the invisible Soul, the Self. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
