On May 22 2009, six ministers out of twenty in India's latest central cabinet did not take oath in the name of God .
They are in excellent company.
तुकाराम Tukaram (1608-1650):
"आहे ऐसा देव वदवावी वाणी । नाही ऐसा मनीं अनुभवावा ।" (4205)
Forgive my translation:
"say in speech god exists, experience in mind he doesn't."
Simone Weil (1909-1943):
"An atheist may be simply one whose faith and love are concentrated on the impersonal aspects of God.”
