Role of Religion in Society

Role of Religion in Society

On earth 7 billion people co-exist with allot of 'diversity'. Black, Indian, American, Latin so on and so forth. Surprisingly all of them have their own customs, traditions, languages & Religion. Let us take an example of the most complex and diverse society in the world, India. Each person in this society has grown up in a mixed culture, which is to say that there is no or at least no objectivity in this society. Objectivity is required for proper human development, but in a case where everything is just a crowd of customs & religions; it is hard to attain efficient & a peaceful social environment.

When we talk about religion, the first thing that comes to our mind is ‘god’ or ‘fear of hell’. But it is not so, as the true purpose of religion is to bind people socially so that they live happily and share common traditions and customs and values. Many thinkers believed in such a way that religion is just nothing but a delusion, but from another point of view it also maintains social order.

Knowledge, I mean spiritual, metaphysical or superstitious all generate from one common source, which is Religion. But it is not bad to believe or have an obsession of them, as they can also tend to luminate a life path of a person who is helpless or in search for hope from somewhere. It could be from anywhere. The only way is to incline toward Religion. This happens daily, people are inclined toward religion, someone wants a better job, and another is depending on preist who blesses a young man that he will get married to a beautiful bride. Such practices only give hope to people, so that they live and carry on with their lives from 9 am till 10 pm. So? Is this the plan of religion itself or it’s a real superpower over each and every one of us?

There are so many different religions on earth. Each of them with their own philosophy. Some believe their gods are from stars and some believe their god is earth. So when so many different religious groups are present, each in its unique form and identity, is conflict avoidable? Yes, it is avoidable, by unification of all of them. And that will be the true meaning of the concept of religion in human society. People do not understand that why is religion in our world? It is there to bind each and every individual in harmony and peace.

Hey !! Hi there ! I read some of your articles; they are Interesting. You sure have a knack of writing.
But I also observed that they are very hard to comment on. Some are full of logical fallacies( Not this one though). You jump to conclusions very fast, not satisfying the curious possibilities a reader may have.This often ends up with the reader being highly skeptical and very often they will label you.

Result: Your point doesn't get
across.Despite some of them being really good.

Regards

Johri didn't know that what is 'KNACK', meaning I'm talking of, he called me 'Ojus'(phone) late night it was 2:20 AM that day, I was out for inspection(don ask whats that, mind your own the better). I hung up that enquiry as it was UNDUE, and in view of Indian law considers such:'Perturbed'

So now ya, The one who wrote the shit above and this blog Last Name: Johri died 2 yrs ago 28th OCT 2017, evening. For his sake, I address the lot; Human Living or Dead. Dead doesn't mean DEATH, infinite synonyms you shall find if you have not GONE BOUNDLESS by THOUGHT, by BODY and MIND.
