The Christian priests stood at street corners and loudly denounced Hinduism and offered the discriminated Hindus great opportunities if they joined Christianity. Weeks later they found that not many accepting their lucrative offer. E. Stanley Jones, a renowned United Methodist minister, asked grandfather M. K. Gandhi why, and his reply was: "The day you stop talking about how good your religion is and start living it you will find millions flocking to it."

I think these words are prophetic and very pertinent to today's discussion. They apply equally to all religions of the world.

Yet, in another sense, grandfather was against changing religions because he considered one's religion to one's mother. He would say: Just because your mother is less attractive than your friend's mother you can't abandon your mother and adopt a new one. If one is born into a religion and finds it less than desirable one needs to stay and do something to change it or reform it. In other words one should not run away from one's responsibilities not shirk them. This will only lead to greater dissatisfaction.
