Each One Has Their Place
See the good in all forms of religion, perspectives, philosophies, and ways of life. Don’t make fun of others because of their beliefs. And don’t exclude other humans because they don’t believe in a ‘savior.’

“Many of us, when we outgrow certain old conceptions, display impatience and even contempt for those remaining in the fold from which we have strayed. This is all wrong. Those who remain are just where they belong— it is the best place for them for the time being. Intolerance on our part is just as absurd as the intolerance shown by these people.”
There was a period in my life when I was that intolerant person Yogi Ramacharaka writes about, hating religion. I grew up Catholic, going to church every Sunday, forced by my parents. As I grew old enough to reason, I distanced myself from it. It made no sense, and I even made fun of people who were religious or went to church. I was wrong.
My mindset changed when I discovered the Yogi philosophy. It changed because I realized that religions are a necessary part of the spiritual evolution of the human race. They are good and necessary for some people; they play their part.
