Religion is not a burden, not a weight, it is wings.

Summary

This quote suggests that rather than being a burden or something that weighs people down, religion is meant to be freeing and uplifting. It emphasizes that embracing a religious belief or spiritual practice can provide individuals with a sense of liberation, guiding them through life's challenges and helping them reach greater heights. Religion, in this context, represents a metaphorical set of wings that allow individuals to soar above their limitations and experience a higher spiritual or moral dimension.
