Religious speech if limited to words and letters remains not just human, but deceptive and destructive, because it is vain words. At least, human words give some comfort to the afflicted. Religion is not a contemplative philosophy about life. The true religion is the one that has life in itself. Religion is not the transferring of information and fulfillment of duties.
True religion ought to give solutions to human suffering.
It ought to be overflowing with life. If it is the opposite of this, than it becomes truly the opium of the people. The irreligious and inhuman actions of religious people show clearly the case where religious speech becomes destructive and mortal instead of life giving. Instead of healing, it yields corruption. These resulting actions reveal the corruptibility of religious speech.
