 [T]he chief cause of nearly two thirds of the evils that pursue humanity ... is religion ... It is the sacerdotal caste, the priesthood and the churches; it is in those illusions that man looks upon as sacred, that he has to search out the source of that multitude of evils which is the great curse of humanity and that almost overwhelms mankind. Ignorance created Gods and cunning took advantage of the opportunity. .. Is not man ever ready to commit any kind of evil if told that his God or Gods demand the crime? (From the "Mahatma Letters")
