Religion is something that affects us in everyday life. It surrounds us everyday, everyone around us either has a religion or they believe to be non religous.
Although religion has become something that has divided the world for centuries, wars, arguments and conflicts between people have been started because of the religion that they believe in. But if you are part of a religion whom has a god then what i dont understand is is that what would there god think of them for starting a war just because they dont support or belong to a certain religion?
My opinion is that its up to an individual to decide if they want to be part of a certain religion, nobody should be forced into being part of something they dont believe in. I am not a religous person but i do not have a problem with anyone that is part of a religion such as sikh, hindu or christian...its just my belief that i dont want to be part of any of them.
Many people do see religion as being something different, some definitions attempt to find a balance somewhere between overly sharp definition and meaningless generalities. Some sources have tried to use formalistic, doctrinal definitions while others have emphasized experiential, emotive, intuitive, valuational and ethical factors. Definitions mostly include:
- a notion of the transcendent or numinous, often, but not always, in the form of theism
- a cultural or behavioural aspect of ritual, liturgy and organized worship, often involving a priesthood, and societal norms of morality (ethos) and virtue (arete)
- a set of myths or sacred truths held in reverence or believed by adherents
