Religion is neither good or bad for society or in general. My thoughts are ... if there is a person that is " bad " or doing " bad " things, they would do the same acts if they were apart of a religious group or not.
Everyone should be able to have a choice and do or follow what we they follow. As long as they aren't hurting anyone, or some kinda cult..... It's all good and fine with me. Many religions have a lot of good teachings one can pick up lessons from.
What's most important is love and respect for each other.
Yes alright.
if it were not for religion maybe society's order would be very chaotic.
and if not for religion, freedom, equality and just prosperity can not exist for society.
it is a religion that guides us to live in harmony and peace.
It is good.because this time society is an important part of our life.we cannot live in the society without the believe of religion
It depends, it is bad when it becomes the perfect excuse to commit terrible acts against other people, but it is very good when it is taken as the right path and gives people peace and hope.
yay! this sounds like a great contest @thepassenger...heading over to check it out now!
Religion in this generation is bad!!!
Most of the mayhem happening this days is as a result of politically influenced beliefs that has been preached by religion institutions.
Way back Religion was use to protect the people in the society from issues caused by politics so over time the people began to place their unreserved trust in religions and religion leaders.
Upon seeing this, the religion leaders were now enticed to speak in favour of bad politicians and their fake deceitful agendas.
Now we dont even know who to trust anymore!!!
I support DECENTRALIZATION of everything in the society including religious and politics
I would say Good religion is critically important for society, bad religion is harmful.
Personally it's bad. Considering my country, Nigeria where we have churches and mosques than schools you would think it's peaceful as more than 90% of the population is either christian or Muslim. But this is far from the truth, the insurgency faced in the north due to activities of Boko Haram can be traced back to religion. Believe me religion is the problem we have in Africa. It has eaten deep to the extent that any slight problem or setback either domestic or any other faced by a regular African is termed 'spiritual' therefore feeling the need to consult with religion clerics who in turn take advantage of their ignorance to enrich their own pocket. It has also made people lazy to find realistic solution to problems, they instead rely on 'prayers'. Take religion away from Africa and see it blossom
Religion is very good for the society, in which if practiced well, and in the right manner, without fanatics and ignorance helps to groom a united society.
Religion is more or less a law or rule (constitution) that binds/ guides the citizens of a particular country (doctrine).
