A concept is introduced when people feel that there is a need for it for a proper balance of society. "Religion" is a concept introduced by people living all across the world because it was needed to end the chaos of society. It sets some rules and obligations of every person to lead a peaceful life. But sometimes it can be seen that some people use this sacred word as a tool for their own needs and publicity. They try to show their religion superiority by insulting others religions. So it is not religion that divides us but it is the people with an urge to have power that divides us by manipulative comments.

Secondly, speaking of problems, they are part of life. We are blessed with beautiful relationships such as family, friends, and other close ones so that we can survive the toughest problems that life throws at us. Their very presence gives us strength.

According to my point of view, the main factor that unites us is the problem, while religion is also responsible for that up to some extent. Whenever human beings are in any problem then they are biased more towards the person facing the same problem which creates a bond of belief between them and this ultimately unite them.

But on the other hand when we talk about religion then the first thing come into mind is that certain rules and believes toward god, so the people who following the same set of beliefs and rules are considered in one type of religion, and the people who are fail to follow that rule or disobey them cause dispute between them. And some time political leaders also used religions as a weapon for acquiring more vote.

So the final conclusion is that we should stand together from all the religious group to save humanity and help each other.

I respect every religion, I don't want to blame religion, sometimes it is necessary to have religion so that we can follow some rules and regulations to make our life easy, we need to be grounded at particular place and religion teaches this to us. We are divided in religion is not bad things. Everything in nature or in society is available because we need it. But some people make an issue of this, they need some topic to create an issue, so my point is it is not religion that divides us. It is a negative mindset that is dividing us. And another point problems unite us is right, because in the industry we work as a team, from where the thought come to work in a team?

There are some problems that we can't solve on our own so we need a group of people to solve that, we want suggestions from peoples to improve our work so I believe those problems unite us.

In my opinion, religion should not divide our country and humanity. It all depends on the people who follow it and how they interpret its teachings. Every religion has an image of a higher power, and within every religion, some individuals embody kindness and consider humanity, as well as those who promote negativity and fail to consider humanity. I'm not singling out any specific religion, but it's important to acknowledge that every religion should focus on promoting peace and understanding, rather than causing harm to others in an attempt to demonstrate superiority. This behaviour not only negatively impacts our nation but also hinders our collective progress as humanity. We must understand and respect one another’s beliefs and work together to mitigate such conflicts. Only then can we truly strive for peace and progress in our country and the world.

Hi everyone,

I would also like to present my views on the topic, although I completely agree with the first part, that problems unite us. Many instances prove the point, like during natural disasters, all community unites and helps each other.

The religion is something I partially agree with, everyone is proud of ones religion and every religion teaches to be peaceful and a good human. But I think there are some people in every religion that follow the religion just for the sake of it and don't follow it correctly, and that's what makes the difference.

In my personal opinion, some religions are not fit to be considered religion as they act as a cult and their followers blindly believe anything without proper consideration and perform various inhumane acts in the name of religion.

These brainwashed believers are also the root cause of the problem.

Problem and religion is a head and tail of a coin, which somersaults to one another simultaneously.

In the country like our India, it is an apt adage.

It can be easily visualised in this trending scenario, where a flick is made such a "hype", that the supremos' adjudication not abided by some of the communities, as it might tarnish their historical grounds. They unite there on the religion definition.

But the actual problematic situations like rape, kidnapping, deprivations, illiteracy, trafficking, honour killing etc, not even able to gain the importance on the humanitarian terms (as people with different mindset).

What happened is, no one wants to lift their mindset from religion and customs. So I conclude that problem does not unite us, but religion unites us on one's terms and act as a termite to eradicate complete humanity.

Thanks.

Hello everyone, from my perspective.

I completely agree with the statement that problems unite us. We can see many examples of this in real life. If you face any problem and people do not unite, either by thought or by strength, it becomes very difficult to find a solution.

For instance, during floods in Punjab, people from both Punjab and Haryana stood together, supporting each other to overcome the damage and loss.

On the other hand, regarding the idea that religion divides us, I personally disagree. I have observed that in many popular places—such as Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh or the Gurudwara in Agra, Uttar Pradesh—people visit regardless of their religion.

They come together to pay respect, which shows that religion does not necessarily divide us. In fact, it can unite people in shared values of peace and devotion.

This is absolutely true that problems unite us, religion divide us. As we see the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus doesn't treat a people on basis of religion or status. Nd it's also true that no religion teach us division among humans, but it's only us who do discrimination on this meaning less basis. Instead of this we should learn the goodness of each religion and should belong to the religion of humans. We are ourselve responsible for the voilence on name of religion as no religion teach us these things. It's our human nature only but not the religion. It's the frivolous thinking that divide us. In today's scenerio coronavirus pandemic is actually uniting us. As everyone is showing his /her contribution to tackle the problem. And this can only be solved by the power of unity and not by gloomy division of religion.

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.

The statement digs into the 2 dimensions of human nature.

We humans have a weird connection between us. We are born to love. Whenever there is any crisis, any issue or disaster, we consider this a collective problem. We often help strangers. This is where the diversity fades away and humanity takes the front seat.

But when we let religion enter the conversation, there is a sudden shift from collective thinking to individual identity. We start taking an attack on belief as an attack to personal identity. So, yes, Religion comes and creates a partition in humanity. But this is not fully correct. If every religion is understood and studied properly while because after all we are all children of god, then no one can divide us. Instead, we all will bloom together like different flowers in God's garden.
