Do you believe in the utopian ideology of humanity and looking for some inspirational secular quotes? We have got you covered.
It is a great idea to have a secular world where there is no difference in human beings based on caste, sex, religious dogmas, and fascist thinking.
The humanists and atheists aspire for an ideal loving world devoid of cruelty and human rights abuses that occur in the name of religious extremity.
But sadly, a secular kind and compassionate world never materialize in the real world, and human beings have become more self-centered, materialistic, and narcissistic than ever.
Rising mental health disorders, depression, low social tolerance, and blind consumerism destroy our mental wellness and result in climate catastrophe, extinction of millions of species, increasing inhuman animal cruelties, and global warming.
Dennis Prager hits the bullseye with his sayings, ‘ Secularism breeds narcissism. There is nothing higher to live for, so you live for you.’
Secularism has made us too egocentric that we lost all connection to why our founders of secularism started this ideology.
To live a sane life, we need neither superstitions-filled religion that divides man nor the fake secularism that makes us arrogant.
We need wisdom and truly righteous living centered on compassion, love, and freedom.
To be really loving and religious, we need to reflect on who we are and why we exist so divided, loveless, restless, and hollow despite our sincere idea of not being so.
Go close to ancient wisdom literature, especially the timeless Upanishads and mystic saint Ramana Maharishi’s ‘Who Am I’ and other authentic philosophers who worked tirelessly to bring sanity to our minds.
We hope you love reading our handpicked secular quotes collection.
