Problems unite us, Religion divides us

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.

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.

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.

I agree with the statement that "Problems unite us and religion divide us". We have seen several live examples like Covid 19 or various natural calamities where a large number of people came up to help people in need. Many people even risked their own lives to help others. Did they care about the religion, caste or community of other people? No, they just did it out of humanity. This shows that problems unite us.

Whereas religion teaches us peace and harmony, very few people actually know about their religion. They spread wrong information about their and other's religion, causing societal problems. Riots happen and many innocent people die. Religion is a very sensitive topic where people easily get provoked.

So according to me, "problems do unite us and religion divide us".

So my opinion about this topic. Religion divides us because of people mentality and thinking. The brahmins family never want to go the Muslims family in their invitation and occasion because they are beef eaters and the brahmins family is against this. So in this situation, the religion divide us. They are not want to share their happiness due to some religion problem. So religion divides us. In the other phase of the topic. When the terrorist attack in the city and in that situation the brahmins family have not other options and they get a help from a Muslim family. So the problem is not discriminate the religion when people get the problem. And they have not other option to get a help and survive. So this is my point of view on this topic that. Yes, problem unite us.

Problems unite us and religions divide us - A 200% true line.

My eyes have always sensed religions only as a mode to separate people and nothing else. If religions are really for the goodness of us, then why come there be so many religions. Isn't a single religion enough for this whole human society?

Religions were imposed on us and unfortunately knowingly or unknowingly we are carrying the mighty burden on our backs all through our lives.

On the other hand, problems unites every single one of us, provided we face the same problem.

Conclusion is that it is upon us to act sensibly and maturely to keep our religions below the threshold. If this is done successfully, there is no real need for a problem to unite us. We would have already been united.

Thanks.

Yes, I do agree with this statement, as going on with the statement problem unites us, there are several examples in font of us when there is a flood or any pandemic or natural calamities occurs in a state or whether there is a war is going on between two countries, we the people are not hesitated to help others there we are not making any kind of boundaries such as religion, race, nationality etc.

The religions that originated from different cultures, provide a base to us. The good messages that are written or portrayed will help to improve our thoughts, but when we see or give more importance to religion than humanity, then whatever religion is followed by you it has no sense. Then the religion will divide you and it has great power to kill humankind.

Hello,

It is true that problem unites us and religion divides us. But I think we have to come across this line of religion for humanity, after all we all humans so humanity comes first. We have to help people during their hard time and we also ask for help to solve any problem. Suppose if any one needs blood for sever bleeding we ask our neighbors and friends who are in our contact at that point of time peoples came together to help that person. At that point of time, we forgotten about religion. So, I think religion can't divides us. Problem and Religion all units us. We know that some political persons and some bigoted person divides people in the name of religion but it is the responsibility of youths to remove this type of problem by raising voice.

Hi,

Problems definitely unite us as whenever there are any protests or strikes against any group or individuals, we never think that the people who are protesting with us belong from our community or not, we never think that are they from the same religion or not? we never think that are they of the same gender or not? We only remember that we are united.

On the other hand, it is said that religions divide us but it is because of our own mindsets because all the religions teach us the same things like unity, peace, justice and equality but we people interpret our religions in a wrong manner that creates disputes and bitterness among all of us. In this way, our love for our own religion makes us hate the people belonging to other religions.

Thank you.

India is a country of "UNITY IN DIVERSITY".

We do have many religions, castes and communities that are different by their own tradition and culture. The religion of every individual is his\her own identity and belonging. But the problem arises when it is compared with each other.

Here ego, hatred, and vengeance are taken into account trying to project which religion is the best. Religion is NOT dividing us. The way we see it from a wrong perspective and comparing two religions in a weighing scale does.

I fear that these PROBLEMS occur and it is not uniting us here as we do unite. Respecting each individual's beliefs and faiths and valuing the same can keep people UNITED despite religions and unite them in standing together to face a problem.
