Religion breeds superstition because religion is based on blind belief, not the truth. People all over the world in the past and present accepted the idea of the existence of God. The fear of the God injected by the religion was the root cause of worship, superstitions, and dogmas. The religious beliefs were passed on to the populace from one generation to the next generation.
Religion causes one to become crippled, Self-mortifying and Self-deprecating is not a religion, but the social system of controlling the populace through psychological deformation and retardation.
Religions place God as diverse ideas and beliefs. Every religious believer has a different idea of God. Every man has a different idea of the real. There is a need to accept verify the facts about the religious Gods before accepting anything as God. There is in religion the element of imagination and sentiments. The ordinary man is happy because religion gives him satisfaction, and pleases his taste.
Every sect and creed concocts a God to suit its own purposes. Belief in such concocted Gods is a great hindrance in pursuit of truth. The man himself’ suggests that there must be a God. It is an auto-suggestion. Belief in religion weakens as the man pays more attention to the facts of his practical life within the practical world.
An honest e seeker of truth says that he has not seen God. He does not know God's capacities, what God can do, and what God cannot do. Therefore, any statement he might make about God would only be a lie.
The seeker of truth does not wish to tell a lie. Therefore, he does not accept God nor deny Him; he simply refuses to make any statement about God because he wants to discover what is supposed to be God. Without verification, he does not want to accept anything as truth.

Spirituality is a new religion. Advaita is pure spirituality. Advaita is truth beyond form, time, and space. Advaita is the Spirit. The Spirit is the universal God and God of the whole humanity.
Do not believe as a God as a separate entity. Realize, God is the cause of the existence of the universe in which we exist. God should not be worshiped but realized right in this very life, not in the next life or next world.
Every child must be made aware of the God in truth. The religiously propagated beliefs of Gods are not God in truth. Religion has become the cause of concern, to the whole humanity.
Religion brood the ignorance and its outdated beliefs and dogmas, superstition. Religion is regarded as sacred and real by the common people, by the wise as false, and by the politicians as useful.
To stop the bloodbath which is going on in the name of religion, the truth of God has to be revealed in order to bring unity in diversity in humanity.
The truth of God sets the humanity free from ignorance and brings unity in diversity. “God created the world is an absolute lie”
Yajurveda – chapter- 32:~ God is Supreme Spirit.
Bible says: ~ “God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)
Even Bhagavad Gita says: ~ Brahmano hi pratisthaham- Brahman (God in truth) is considered the all-pervading consciousness which is the basis of all the animate and inanimate entities and material. (Gita 14.27)
The Spirit is the root element of the universe. The Spirit is present in the form of the Soul, the Self. The Soul is present in the form of consciousness.
From the Spirit, the universe comes into existence. In the Spirit, the universe resides. And into the Spirit, the universe is dissolved. The Spirit is the parent of all that is there is.
If God is formless Spirit, then how does the man know God created the world? There is no proof. If the man had seen God creating the world, he could admit it, but how could he have seen God before he came into existence? (i.e. were created).
No one has seen God creating the world. No one can claim that he was the first Knower of the creation. How can anyone, he knows God created the creation when he himself is the part of the creation.
People talk of God created the creation as if they were present when God was creating the creation. So people who wrote creation and creator theory existed prior to God creating the creation.
There got to be, at the very beginning of the creation, someone or other who was the very first knower of the creation. There cannot be something ‘known’ in the absence of a ‘knower.’
In Brahma Sutras Sage Sri, Sankara takes for granted, assumes that a world was created: He there mixes dogmatic theology with philosophy.
That God created the world is an absolute lie; nevertheless, you will find Sage Sankara (in his commentary on Vedanta Sutras) clearly says this! He has to adapt his teachings to his audience, reserving the highest for philosophical minds.
The text of Brahma Sutras based on religion, dogmatism, but in the commentary, Sage Sankara cleverly introduced some philosophy.
A number of Upanishads are equally dogmatic and self-contradictory because they also begin by assuming Brahman. Few Upanishads prove Brahman at the end of a train of proof, but still they are very confusing and vague.
The causality and creation, but these are for religious people only. Religion is only for those who are unable to understand truth beyond the form, time and space.
Religion is not final. It only gives satisfaction to the populace. The Self - knowledge is for the whole humanity to free them from experiencing the birth, life, death and world as reality.
Sage Sankara himself had often said that his philosophy was based on Sruti, or revealed scripture. This may be because Sage Sankara addressed the ordinary man, who finds security in the idea of causality and, thus, in the idea of God—and Revelation is indispensable to prove the latter. He believed that those of superior intelligence, have no need of this idea of divine causality, and can, therefore, dispense with Sruti and arrive at the truth of Advaita by pure reason.
People of small intelligence follow religion and believe that God created the world. However, how do they know that God did so? When a pot is created, one can see both the pot and its maker, but not in the case of the world.
The seeker has to begin his analysis with the world first, not with the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The world in which you exist, Consciousness, is the finality.
Thus, consciousness is the ultimate truth, Brahman, or God in truth. The universe is mere an illusion created out of God. In reality, the illusion and the God are one in essence.
Thus, consciousness, God, is one without the second. Those who are stuck with the creator, creation theory will not be able to realize the God in truth.
A Gnani sees the world in which he exists as consciousness." However, to know this, they must study be examined. : ~Santthosh Kumaar
