Non-religions are generally anti-thesis to religions and non-believers of God. These neither believe in God, nor in soul, nor in the Scriptures bestowed by God. Although no-body has ever proved that God and the soul does not exist, even than the non-religions have discarded God, soul and the Holy Scriptures bestowed by the God. Without proving the non-existence of God or soul, how can anybody presume the non-existence of God and soul?

Non-religions have neither any philosophy nor any logic to prove their baseless doctrines nor do they have any Scriptural base. The basis of many non-religions should not be simply criticizing the believers of God, Hindu Dharma and the Scriptures. They should have their own sound philosophy and logic to disprove existence of God and soul. The latest sciences are getting the evidences in favor of existence of God and coming to the conclusion that sciences are lame without accepting God.

Generally, non-religions dictate their followers to obey their instructions blindly, without raising any doubt, objection or any question on the validity. Non-religions generally have so many self-contradictory baseless doctrines. Any religious doctrine must be justified first. They have no fixed customs or the rules of life. They have no philosophy or any aim of life. According to them everything is right, nothing is wrong. They change themselves frequently according to their selfish needs, convenience and circumstances at different times in their lives. Most of their doctrines are not new, as much of these have been borrowed from God’s Dharma. Buddhism, Zen and Taoism, which do not believe in God, soul and the Scriptures, are the good examples of non-religions. Jainism believes in soul but not in God and the Scriptures.

Strangely, most of the followers of these non-religions believe in God, soul and Scriptures and they think their founders also believed the same. Their places of worship or shrines are not like the Hindu Temples. Their shrines are the places of memories of their founders. They do not worship God or anybody else in their shrines, but have been designed to look like the Hindu temples. They usually place even the idols of their founders inside them to give a fake impression of worshiping of God to their ignorant followers. It is contradictory to their doctrines. If they don’t believe in worshiping God, there is no need of constructing their shrines to look like temples. Strangely most of the Buddhist worship Buddha as God in these shrines and also have faith in soul and Hindu Scriptures, while Buddhism doesn’t.

A temple is a holy and spiritual shrine of worshipping God, where the idols of God or its incarnations are worshiped daily by its followers through a Pujari. The Idol of God is worshiped by Aarti, Deepak, Bhog, Prashadam etc many times daily. Accordingly shrines are not temples.

Temples are not constructed for a saint or a yogi or even a self-realized man, however miraculous or great he may be.
