Religion we need

Sir, — This refers to the article, "The religion we need" (Open Page, Feb. 1). Religion is essential to humanity but religiosity — blind adherence to certain tenets and observances as preached by the so-called religious leaders — is dangerous. Unfortunately, the major religions in the world have become more and more ritualistic than spiritual, thus losing their inner content at the hands of bigots and pseudo gurus.

K.S.S. Sarma,
Kurnool, A.P.
