I was not talking about religion, but Jesus actually said it himself : “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
Jesus is saying that the truth will set you free from your own mind, your false self.
Truth set me free from religion. Things attributed to what Jesus said are generally pretty good, but for example, "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26 (and it doesn't get better with the context).
Combine that with 1 John 3:15 for a bit of a laugh: "Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him."
