Behind the Facade


"The spectacle of what is called religion, or at any rate organised religion,
in India and elsewhere, has filled me with horror and I have frequently
condemned it and wished to make a clean sweep of it. Almost always it
seemed to stand for blind belief and reaction, dogma and bigotry,
superstition, exploitation and the preservation of vested interests."
