Problems units us, Religion divides us,

It is true that today religions divides us, latest example are ISIS, If religion units us then why they killed so many innocent people, why they are used women as like toy. Everybody know what they do with him,

What religions guide us to do this type of dangerous work.

Problems unites us it is true if any natural disaster occurs then people try to face it and they panned to remove it.

Problems certainly do unite us to an extent, and religions do divide us, but there are other factors at play. In the past religion has always divided us but without a prevalent media problems did not unite us as much as they do now. Also, the two sections you've chosen to look at seem to contradict one another in terms of who you are referring to as "us". Most problems societies encounter are caused by other people and the ones that unite us most are foreign attacks, the feeling of "We" vs. "Them". This divides people as well as unites them, in the same way religion does. Religion brings some groups together in a profound manner. Even though religious fervor has seen a sharp decline in recent years communities still come together around the entire world through their faith. Most truly religious people believe that religious tolerance is important with some exceptions being extremist followers or extremist religions.

The conflict of this argument that I can sense is that religion does the same thing as "problems" because it creates a problem, the idea that one group is not following the correct faith and in the best interest of each side, both religions want to convert them to the correct faith and run into disagreements with one another based on that (historically). So problems unite us into groups based on national and ideological lines, to discount the rarity of a global catastrophe because of its rarity but in that case the situation does change, whereas religions unite us into groups based on essentially the same things since religious beliefs are most influenced by culture based on location and upbringing and religious populations usually live in close proximity to one another whenever possible. I think that the more accurate approach would be to say that religions and problems are very closely intertwined and that religion can lead to problems between disagreeing factions.

In that sense, it can also be seen that religion is a way for people unite when there is an absence of catastrophe.

So my opinion about this topic. Religion divides us because of people mentality and thinking. The brahmins family never want to go the Muslims family in their invitation and occasion because they are beef eaters and the brahmins family is against this. So in this situation, the religion divide us. They are not want to share their happiness due to some religion problem. So religion divides us. In the other phase of the topic. When the terrorist attack in the city and in that situation the brahmins family have not other options and they get a help from a Muslim family. So the problem is not discriminate the religion when people get the problem. And they have not other option to get a help and survive. So this is my point of view on this topic that. Yes, problem unite us.

According to Darvin theory of revolution of human being, the humans are algae, so there is no need to fight between us because of the world accepted theory we are brothers and sisters. And again. Religions are made for maintaining peace in all human beings. But some people uses in wrong direction to dominate among the people.

Of course, problem unites us, let's take a simple issue. When a apartment has some water issue the whole lot of people in that building unite, but then when it comes to religion a Brahmin never visits a Muslim just because he eats meat. But then on religion it is based on one's own or a group of peoples ideas and not the whole followers. Because even we have friends in other religions who we are more fond of than our parents.

My opinon about the topic is, that it's never a religion that divides us but it is the mentality and thinking that divides us religious title our country as a nation with diversity in peoples faith and culture customs and traditions which distinguish us from any other nation in the world. Speaking about problems when it occurs it's the humanity within us which makes us forget that people in need belong to which religion or given the country.

There are some problems we keep facing these days in a regular basis such as the Nirbhay case, recently Mumbai floods. We saw people uniting and fighting for a common problem but when it comes to religion people of often get did indeed. I believe that religion controls delude and divide people. I believe every child has only one god.

Hello good afternoon, my self Sai Varma, today we are here to discuss problem unite us religion divide us.

As far as, I'm concerned, problem unites us but religion not dividing us, In older days people are stuck to their religions and all, but nowadays generation as changed. We people not concentrating on religions which is the good thing, as we all are human we are not born with religion so we don't have to stick to our religions, whenever problem comes everyone has to join and solve the problem as we seen before about Jallikattu issue which resembles the unity with out any religion.

Why to take those big examples, I think that we all have friends in our school or college life, and everyone will have friends of other religion too. I am also having friends with different religions, but whenever there is a problem for all of my friends are going to help me. I think we are doing right which will helpful for our society.

Finally, I want to conclude that in my opinion problems unite us, but religion is not dividing us nowadays.

Thank you.

It is truly said that problems unite us, and religious divides us because when anyone is in the problem we don't think that he is of which religion, we always try to make him solve, and it's vice versa too.

Problem unite us, I agree with this statement but I disagree with Religion divides. Every religion tells us that to be honest, respect each other. But some people for their personal affairs, creating issues like ram mandhir babri masjid to divide us. Everyone should respect each other and be unite. Yes, problems unite us and it proved a lot of times like freedom for our country, freedom for South Africa.
