Osho continues:
"They teach you to believe in something you do not know.
"If that is not hypocrisy, then what else can be hypocritical?
"Education cannot be concerned with God, because God is the biggest lie invented by the priests. Moreover, almost half of the world does not believe in God. Communists don't believe in God, Atheists don't believe in God, Buddhists don't believe in God, Jainas don't believe in God. It is almost half the population of the world. What are you going to do with these people?
"Are you going to deprive them of education, just the way the scout leaders have expelled their best scout because he refused to sign a paper in which he was to declare that he believes in God?
"He said, 'I do not know. How can I believe?'
"Just a fourteen-year-old child has more sense than Ronald Reagan. What he says has sincerity, authenticity: 'I do not know, so how can I believe? Give me experience and you will not need to ask me to believe.'
"Rather than respecting him, rather than respecting his independence and freedom of thought, he was expelled.
"Now, half of the world does not believe in God. What are you going to do with these people in your education system? Expel them? Then better be finished with all educational systems and just teach in your churches!
"Nobody has ever been able to prove the existence of God. For thousands of years hundreds of theologians have been trying to find some way to prove God, but no proof has been found.
"Education is the search for truth. I cannot start with any belief. Its basis has to be doubt.
"Doubt is a tremendously powerful instrument of your intelligence. Doubt everything until you come to a point where doubt is no longer possible. The moment you experience, doubt falls by itself. Before that, to start with belief is to remain retarded.
"Reagan is retarded, and he wants the whole humanity to remain retarded. I don't think his mental age is more than thirteen. And if he has any suspicion, he can come here: our therapists and psychologists can give him an exact, accurate estimate of his mental age."
