They do a hundred times more evil than good, because they stop the growth of each one's individual development.... Religion is only between you and your God, and no third person must come between you.

Think what these organized religions have done!

What Napoleon was more terrible than those religious persecutions?

If you and I organize, we begin to hate every person. It is better not to love, if loving only means hating others. That is no love. That is hell!

If loving your own people means hating everybody else, it is the quintessence of selfishness and brutality, and the effect is that it will make you brutes’’…..
