Problems unite us, Religion divides us

I Disagree with the above topic that problem unites us and Religion divides us rather religion provides a solution to the some of major problems around the world in case of any natural calamity Gurudwara come forward to provide help and the trust has been established by the temple provides the funds to run school, colleges, hospitals and old age homes and orphanage Center. I am arguing over these points not because I am a spiritual person but because I know the facts and see the change.

Problems unite us because when problem occurs then to overcome from that issue people fights with unity.

For example during tsunami, during flood etc. All people gets unite and try to help the people without thinking of their religion.

Religion not divides us it also gives us an opportunity to know the good things of their religion.

I completely agree with the statement. The strength of the bonding will come when there is a problem. Be whatever religion one belongs to the humanity is something that is responsible for giving support in problems. Every religion is a different practice of living they doesn't divide people. Religion only show diversity in living.

Problems unite us through poverty, climate change and social injustice whereas religion divides us by creating a barrier, fostering exclusive and perpetuating stereotypes.
To overcome all these challenges we must focus on shared values, practice empathy and understanding and celebrate diversity.

The topic is very interesting, I also want to give my such thoughts on this topic, that problem always unite us to face it and to get out of it is half correct because a human is selfish it always think about it self first rather then other, whether it is any case of problem.
Now we talk about is religion divide us?
So , this all things are fitted in our mind from ancient year that they are lower class people, they are upper class people,
This type of discrimation is problem and thinking that start dividing us from caste to caste, religion to religion.
Solution : of this problem is we have to upgrade us, and other by removing this small mentality of discrimation.
By literating them

Hi everyone.

It's great to be a part of this wonderful group discussion.

I agree with the statement, and as many said its tru,e but has anyone seen religion dividing people?

If you ask people something like "hey, if you are Hindu stick to that problem (e.g traffic, pollution, etc.) and if muslim stick to that problem, then they must unite and stand still without worrying about the fact. Now tell me which one has united the people and which one separated. I mean, maybe problems united, but still, religion has a deeper root.

Hello, I am anjali.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of the group discussion.

I completely agree with the first half of the statement that problems unite us. We have seen many live examples in our past that prove this statement to be fully true.

Take the example of the Phalgham terror attack that happened in 2025. All the nation's members were united. People in Kashmir, irrespective of their caste and religion, helped and reassured each other.

So, when a problem arises, we forget religion and see each other as humans and try to save lives and property.

But I partly agree with the second half of the sentence, 'religion divides us' it is not the religion that divides us, but wrongly perceived religious values by people who act inhumanly and because of a few, we blame the whole religion but forget that there are equally good people in the same religion.

Thank you.

I think by facing the problem together true purpose of our religions can be fulfilled.

According to me, religion actually broadens our mentality, and teach us that all are the same and also gives us power to help people in need, thus religion doesn't divide us

I agree with this that "problems unite us but I partially agree with the statement that Religion divides us" because Religion divides us culturally, we have so much cultural diversity in our country India and that's the beauty of our country that we celebrate this diversity and live peacefully. But, at the end, we all are human beings, it's just a chance that we take birth in the religion that we are in. If we take our religion only as a matter of chance then we never disrespect other religions for anything. And coming to the statement that the problem unites us is true. As recently we have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic we all United and fought against this deadly virus. People help each other despite being from any religion. Even countries also come together and help each other make and distribute vaccines against the virus. Also, whenever anything wrong (like criminal offence, or environmental impact,) happens we come together, rally, candle March, and protest this also shows that the problem unites us. Whenever any disaster happens, people come together to help those affected.
