Problems unite us, Religion divides us

Religion is a set of belief systems that varies from person to person belief and it expands (evolves) due to one's belief. Until these beliefs exist conflict is inevitable. However, if persons in religion realize that these beliefs are set by assumptions, religion is not a true representation of beliefs it should be understood by every human being then it leads to mitigating conflict.

And some fundamental human rights (equal justice, freedom, right to live anywhere, right to speak, etc), and some common problems like environmental issues will bring unite use. These fundamental issues also occur due to technological development and energy displacement in nature this problem always will exist throughout human life hence, it drives us to be united to fight against these common problems.

Problems unite us and religion divides, that's true that problems unite us in all problems there are friends, family and in natural disasters we all help each other and if we talk about religion gives us strength and teaches us how we can handle the situation, facing problems by following our religious idol god we all are equal only we need to respect each other religious it's just a govt who wants us to divide and rule in the name of religion.

Yes, I agree with this testimony that the problem unites us because in problem we know to each other who is helping us and we fight if we will not unite and not help each other we all can not be survive. We can see in covid situation, war like situation etc.

In problem we get chance to know one another. But religion divides thats not like this teaches us to be polite humble and care each other and to show humanity but politics and some hatred person make this topic trending.

I would like to put my opinions about this topic "Problems unite us and religions divide us".

I do think that for problems which we face, we look for help and the help us who can give and solution to it could be anyone like our friends are tips the people who know but this person can also be from other religions and what we only look for the solution at that time when we are facing a major problem it's what people's nature which unites a person with another not the religion differentiate between them in different scenarios where people don't like other religion then they will not even bother to take help from any person who is from other religion so, in that case, religion May divide people from other people.

In my opinion, 'problem and religion' both are totally dependent on each other.

For ex: The politicians rises the religious matters on which the people divided to protect their religions. Which creates problems. In this situation the problem divides the the people into religion.

I agree with the statement. In every difficult situation, India has stayed strong and fought with dignity. In the past, we have gone through many problems in which the people stayed together, which shows strength among people and unity. But the situation these days has changed, and people do not show any unity, and they only talk about religion, which is not a positive sign in the growth of our country.

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.

Hi, I am Novaraj.

Hello everyone.

In my point of view, religion is an important thing that in society because people believe in different types of gods in society and also different thinking and different perspectives.

For example, in musim anyone marrying twice was considered normal, but in Hindu culture, it was considered wrong, and in Christianity, it was also considered wrong.

That is create some conflict and fights that why we are doing those regional divisions.

And also creating big wars also creates that.

We respect every region and respect all regions' philosophies.

I completely agree with this statement.

Problems unite us, and religion divides us.

When people face problems like natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, and so on, they usually help each other without considering religion. All religions work together to save lives. In such times, we feel that humans come first, and unity becomes stronger.

On the other hand, religion can divide people because different religions have different beliefs and traditions. If they are rigid towards their values and ethics and think that our religion is based on right beliefs and values, that may lead to conflicts and violence. Such behaviour creates a separation of unity.

At last, I would like to say that we should focus on humanity rather than differences. Religion should teach peace and love instead of difference.

While the statement says ‘problems unite us and religion divides us, ’ I would like to present a more balanced perspective.

Historically, religion was not created to divide people. It actually played a crucial role in organising societies. In earlier centuries, religion acted as a framework for governance, social order, and moral guidance, often tailored to specific geographies. For example, practices evolved based on local conditions, culture, and challenges people faced.

In that sense, religion originally united communities by giving them a shared identity, purpose, and value system.

However, over time, especially with conquests, migrations, and political interests, religion began to be used as a tool for differentiation and sometimes conflict. So the division we see today is less about religion itself and more about how it is interpreted or used.

In today’s globalised world, problems like climate change, gender inequality, education gaps, and economic instability are universal. These challenges cut across religions and clearly require collective action.

Therefore, I believe religion should remain a personal and individual choice, something that guides one’s values and self-reflection but should not interfere with social harmony or collective progress.

Ultimately, it is not religion that divides us, but the lack of evolved understanding. If we respect diversity while focusing on shared human problems, both religion and unity can coexist.
