Different religions are or should be different attempts to lift mankind out of materialism.
12.17.6.8Those who are really intent on finding truth will search for it as widely as their circumstances allow and think about it as often as their time allows.
12.17.6.31There is no liturgy and no ritual, no hierarchy and no institution in philosophic worship, nor are they needed.
12.17.6.77Mankind is led by easy preparatory stages towards the highest philosophy. Only when they are well grounded in true religion or mysticism and sound metaphysics is the full and final revelation made to them.
12.17.6.83Those who are attached to the religious creed into which they have been born have no need to discard it merely because they wish to avail themselves of the knowledge and benefits provided by philosophy, for by applying its light to the creed, to the forms and the symbols, they will find much more meaning and depth in them...
12.17.6.88,Buddha said, ”Proclaim the Truth”; he did not say, ”Convert others to the Truth.” It is for the philosopher to make it available, to open up a way for others, but not to count the gains or weigh the harvest.

12.17.6.128,He does not have to enter a church or temple to stand in God's presence: he is continually there.
12.17.6.154Who is willing to sacrifice his worldly interests for the sake of coming closer to the intangible Overself...?
12.17.6.157,The shelter which religion offers the masses has its correspondence in the strength which philosophy offers the few.
12.17.6.158Philosophy is profoundly religious, but it is not a religion. Men belonging to different folds may study and practise it.
12.17.6.185If ideas, truths, knowledge of enormous importance to the human race, as well as a way of life founded upon them, are not to vanish from the world altogether, a few men and women here and there must carefully preserve them and lovingly nurture them.
