About This Quote
Religion is that which congregate all the resources for spirituality (to attain the Self). Religion is an extremely powerful thing. It can be used as a tool to unite people, but it can also be used to divide people. It is possible to use religion for good, but it is also possible to use religion for evil.
Religion can be used as a force for good or evil, depending on the religious practices of the people involved. The problem with religion today is that it is often used as a tool of division. People who want to create strife and discord often use religion as an excuse for doing so.
They point out some aspect of their belief system and say, "See? I believe this, therefore you must believe this too! Religion only creates a divide. It does not unite people."
