Problems unite us, Religion divides us

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.

As a social being, Humans are designed to live as a community and to create an active environment Religious activities provide spiritual growth and enrichment of whole community as a whole but due to some interior factors and misguidance Religion lost its true purpose and acted as a tool to divide people nowadays. The problem is not with religious principles but people's intolerance to accept that other people also have the same rights as we do. Every religion's roots originated from this idea and it was manipulated in the due course of time. This will lead to a lot of problems.

Each problem leads to imbalance but it also provides an opportunity for individuals to fight against a common cause and help our fellow beings as we did during Chennai floods and storms. Religion gave us a way to overcome such problems and These problems enrich the minds of people to live in harmony and peace.

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.

Topic: problem unite us, religion divides us.

I concur the first statement, but the second statement is not completely correct it's not religion which divides us; sometimes the preachers of the religion spread misinformation or hate against the other religion. If we read any of religious books we get to know humanity is the first religion and our motive should be to spread love, kindness, if we see in present scenario politicians rise the issues based on religion to divide people for their benefits we need to understand that religion is something that meets us to spirituality it is not a topic of war we should respect every religion and learn something new from each Just like in problems we forget that what religion we belong or what religion other or we came together and help each other to come out of that problem same like we should respect everyones personal beliefs.

Hi, everyone I am very greed that you give me this kind of opportunity you say about on the topic that 'Religion divides us, problem unite as'.

Friends as you should know that when we have any problem in our city or state or in our Nation then we unite to each other and help to all to fight against that problem as we take example of Independence of India we came to know that all religious people of all caste come together for the freedom so we can say that Problem unite us.

On other way we have religion divide us this may be wrong because there is enrollment of some politician for their votes to win the election that why they divide people on the basis of religion as we see the politics in Shree Ram Mandir of Ayodhya so this is wrong that religion divides us because I have also friend of different religion.

THANK you to all of you for giving me this kind opportunity.

Hi All,

I am totally agreed with the fact that "Problems unite us while Religion divides us".

Fist let me talk about religion as it is the utmost region because of that there are so much animosity among people of different religions. Had there been no religion in the world there would be only two type of people i.e. Right and wrong. In straight way most of the quarrels are the by-products of religions only. Most of the people who follows their respective religions are damm innocent and very good by hearts but at the same time because of their differences with other religions let them to become monsters.

On otherhand, yes. Diificulties or difficult time. Always teaches us humanities and let us to hold each other hand neglecting our religions, tribes, cats. And that's the beauty of problems as it teaches reality of life and lead us to be more open to everyone.

I believe India is a country where people don't look at religion or any culture when there is a problem. Problems are a situation in which we are all together there in no regional divide. It is not the religion that divides us rather it is the manipulation among the people that has divided people. Religion is a shared belief by a group of people in a divine existence, it has nothing to do with dividing people. It's the people who have created these barriers amongst themselves and for long fought about it. At the end of the day, we're all human and we all have to stand along with each other with any problem. We can look at the example of Covid 19 where the entire world was united by the hope and the spirit to rise above this problem. If they had bought the religious divide in this battle against covid 19 then there wouldn't have been a solution to this problem.
