Problems unite us, Religion divides us

Hello Everyone.

I think both problems and religion are uniting and dividing us. There's a problem where people will not take part in resolving it because it is not affecting them much. If they will then they will find someone to blame for that problem 90% of the times someone's religion which gives the problem a communal angle. This is dividing. Now while they are busy in blaming each other problem increase affecting each and every individual. Then they contribute to resolving the issue. This is uniting. Once the issue is resolved then the investigation begins where again division starts. So this is basically a cycle of division and unity. We have seen this in history at the time of our freedom struggle which started with little problems grew with religious struggle and resulted in independence and then again the religious division of our great nation. Let's take recent events - JNU protests, CAA NRC protests, coronavirus pandemic we have been following the same cycle.

Basically, it is- religion exists because of problems and problems arises because of religion and then we the society seek solutions from the same religion.

Yes, I accept to the statement that problem unites us and religion divide us. Peoples are separated by religions. Those days people so much sticky to their religion. So they do not talk to other religious people. But nowadays youths of the nation understood that there is no religion among the people. All people have the same blood but differ in religion that is not a matter. According to Mahakavi Bharathiyar, there is no religion among people. Youth understood this very well. In work places, colleges, school etc, they talk and maintain friendship to everyone. Friendship are not based on caste or religion. All are same. Problems unite us, Example like, in Jallikattu protest everyone joined their hands together, all Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Islam etc joined hands together. That showed their uniformity. But old people are addicted to religion, even in love marriages also caste plays a major role. Love marriages must be encouraged. Every people has their own wish to marry the person he/she loves. With parents support, they can lead a happy married life. Caste, religion is not their people. All are same. Thank you.

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.

To some extent, it is the harsh reality. Whenever we face problem especially if there are some disputes or differences from some other countries we stand united which is actually a good thing but where our unity vanishes while dealing with problems within our country.

Whenever some problems arise we don't give attention to that what was the reason behind it, why this happened what we want to know first is religion of that person or group due to which problem arose. And then we start blaming that oh he or they did so because he is from this religion and his religion does not teaches equality and respect or anything else.

This is very illogical thinking from people's side. How can anyone relate anyone's wrongdoing with his religion? No religion wants its follower to be rude or bad or commit a sin. Every religion has the same idea, all are same it's only the people who have created all difference.

Hence in order to maintain tranquillity and peace in our country and world, we must not fight in name of religion, we must stand together and face all problems unitedly.

In my opinion, there's nothing to do with religion when you are going for any work or problem in life.

Religion is just faith in god, but with humanity, we are able to trust in the people around us. Religion should be kept within ourselves, people should not be judged on the basis of religion as the person's skills or attitude matters most in any field. Yeah, I think problems unite us but religions divide us. Let's take an example of any contagious virus that goes around after years in the world everyone stands against that virus by forgetting about their identity of religion and there's the only thing in common with humanity which unite people. Everyone in this world has the right to follow the religion that they want to, but every person has a soft corner in their about humanity. In my opinion, humanity should be kept above religion as when someone is in need we don't have to think about his religion and we should serve him for humanity. I dread the world if they will just think about religion and forget about humanity, this will vandalise this world.

Thanks.

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.

Hi Guys,

It is fact that "Problems unite us" when we face in our home, in friends circle, at work place etc. Because those problems can not solve without living together but in some conditions it is true there are some more conditions where problems divide us just like the conflict between India and Pakistan on the issue of Kashmir there are a lot of problems and because of those problems they do not live together and always being ready for fight. So problems unite us as well as divide us is base on the situation and place.

And in other hand, if we say "Religion divides us" so it is also having two faces because of two different-2 conditions if we talk about a particular group of people who believe in a particular religion so those people will not show partiality for all those people who are in their same group but if we talk about two other-2 religion' people so they can divide themselves because of their mentality.

Finally, I would like to say that these types of issues we face because of our mentality status among the people.

Problems do unite us but don't religion divide us.

Rather it depends on the person.

People tend to be hostile towards other religions since they are afraid of their own belief systems crumbling down or being questioned about their beliefs.

Also, there is a fear of being a minority. What I am trying to say is that people are afraid of being alone and want someone with the same beliefs and values, this is part of human nature. Other religions create a sense of being a minority and a fear of being dominated. This leads to hostility towards other religions as a defence mechanism.

Many believe that religions were just made to keep humans sane (not stating my personal view) and that religious laws or fear of punishment of sins would reduce inhuman crimes. But people have managed to commit violence in the name of religion that special laws had to be made regarding that matter beats the whole point of having religion.

Whatever your beliefs are you still got to respect others' beliefs.

1. Problem unite us:

Common challenges-when people face common difficulties or challenges such as natural disasters, economic crises or socil injustices, they often come together to find out its solution, in such situation race, nationality and religion take a back seat and people work together with a common goal.

Example- we all are come together to study and want to became an one of the good knowledge we came to this platform this is also common goal to fight with our on actions and thoughts toward the unity.

2. Religion divide us:

Religious differences-religious difference belief can sometimes create divisions, leading to create misunderstanding, conflict or discrimination, different religious may have contrasting views, rituals or ideologies that can cause tension between communities.

Example-religious conflicts such as those between different sects or between followers of different faiths, often lead to social divisions and violences.

Hi everyone,

I want to share my opinion on the topic "Problems unite us, Religion divides us" and I agree with the first half of the statement that is "Problem unite us" as our history itself is an evident to it, for instance "India’s first war of independence- 1857" and so on. But when it comes to the second half of the statement "Religion divides us" I disagree with it.

As, per my view, Religion is something which provide hope, motivation and teaches us to perform righteous deeds in any situations. It also sometimes provides a person's insight. But due some people's selfishness or overshadowing some incident or some other motives, they create friction between community which are the actual reason for disputes between community's disputes.

In conclusion, I wanted to address that it's not religion which is dividing us but the people with their selfish desire to gain anything irrespective of its consequence.
