Problems unite us, Religion divides us

I agree with the statement that "Problems unite us ". If we have a common problem surely it will be easy to search for a solution together. In this process, we get to know each other and this builds strong bonds amounts us. The recent war against Covid 19 shows how all countries regardless of religion came forward to find a solution.

The Statement "Religion divides us" is controversial. If we look into the past there have been many wars and conflicts based on religious differences, which was in the past. And I believe that now it is in our hands to change it. This will remain a problem if we give statements by keep looking into the past. It's us who need to change our view about religion as a dividing barrier.

Group Discussion Topic: Problems Unite Us, Religion Divides Us.

In today’s world, shared problems often bring people together, while religion, though meaningful, can sometimes cause divisions. Here's my take:

1. Shared Challenges Unite: Global issues like climate change, pandemics, and poverty transcend boundaries, uniting people in their efforts to find solutions. For example, during COVID-19, communities worked together regardless of religion, showing how common problems foster unity.

2. Religion as Cultural Foundation: Religion offers moral guidance and community, but conflicts arise when beliefs are rigidly interpreted or politicized. The divisions are not caused by religion itself but by how it's sometimes misused.

3. Education and Dialogue: Promoting interfaith dialogue, cultural exchange, and religious tolerance through education can bridge divides. Understanding different perspectives helps overcome conflicts.

4. Unity in Diversity: Focusing on common problems like inequality and environmental issues helps us see past religious differences. Working together on shared goals fosters unity in diversity.

5. Solution-Oriented Approach: Encouraging collaboration across religious lines on community and social projects builds cohesion. It shifts the focus from division to solving shared problems.

Conclusion: While religion can divide, shared challenges often unite us. By fostering tolerance, collaboration, and dialogue, we can bridge religious divides and focus on solving the issues that affect us all.

Good Morning Friends,

According to me, Obviously, problems unit us, Religion divides us. If any problems came, peoples are coming together. This good one. But we are allowed to divide the religions. Indians are sisters and brothers. So every people have own their relationship to any other culture peoples. So, we should always allow religions are the same for people. Indians are common for any religion people.

I agree, when we are facing problems that are affecting all we unite to face them, also it is dependent on what the problem is, problems affecting only a community or individual might not unite us.

Nowadays these issues are taken top priority, so that why I thinking that RELIGION ARE NOT DIVIDING US rather it teaches us how we can survive on this planet with different cultures of humanity but SOME IDOLATROUS make us different from our own opinion because we believe in Idolatrous from our soul and he leads us astray.

So, Overall the main region of that Religion divides us that out fraud and Idolatrous who lead us astray.

Nowadays some Idolatrous like from the HINDU religion "Dhirendra Prasad Shastri" And From the Muslim religion "Asaduddin Owaisi" And also some POP PADRI from Kristen.

So all are provoked to the people and supporter of his particular region.

Hi.

Yes, I agree with the statement "problems unites us" but I am partially agree with the statement "religion divides us". We can take a recent example of Covid-19 that how everyone unites and battled with this problem and lot's of many more situations we have seen in past that proves this statement correct. But I personally thinks that religions never aims to divides us. Religion tells us "sarve bhavantu sukhinah" and "vasudev kutumbakam" these things comes from religions. Some of the people us religion to create conflict and division among the people It's us who fight for religion and dividing people like political parties use it for their own vote banks.

So, I think we the people are responsible for division not the religions.

Hi Everyone, I completely agree with this statement. This is harsh truth to accept and gel with but it is how the society around us works. The same people who put status on how secular a nation India is makes big fuss when it is their turn to accept their children's decision to marry someone from other religion. And this one single scenario is enough to understand how deep rooted the obsession of religion is in majority of the population in India.

Hello everyone.

In my opinion, it is true that problems unite us but I am completely disagree with the statement that religion divide us I think religion teaches about peace and unity and also teaches us to respected everyone sentiments and helps the needy irrespective of their background.

So, according to me, religion doesn't not divide there are some political parties buisness man who always wants to divide us on the name of religion for their sake of benifit.

I believe the statement is true; it reflects the perceptive approach of society to a common problem, regardless of religious differences. This showcases that humanity is more important than anything else.

The best example is during the earthquake in Turkey when India put all the differences between the two nations and its first nation to send aid during difficult times. During COVID times, India also has vaccines for many member nations.

I agree with the topic Problems unite us, Religion divide us.

In recent years, we have consistently witnessed a global outpouring of aid and support whenever natural calamities or humanitarian crises strike. Nations around the world come together, setting aside their differences, to provide assistance and relief to the victims. Additionally, global challenges such as pollution, global warming, and deforestation are tackled through collective efforts, demonstrating a united front in seeking solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted this spirit of cooperation, as countries transcended their differences to develop vaccines and combat the virus. This shows that problems unite us.

However, there have been numerous instances both historically and in recent years where religion has been a source of division. Historically, several wars, such as the Crusades, were fought over religious differences. The partition of India and Pakistan is another example, where the division was primarily based on religious lines. In the Middle East, ongoing conflicts often stem from religious divides between Jews and Muslims. Moreover, political parties frequently exploit religious sentiments to create divisions and secure votes. This manipulation of religion for political gain continues to perpetuate division and conflict within societies.
