I completely agree with the point. "Problems unite us, Religion divides us". I could see most of them are totally against the point 'Religion divides us'.

Although every religion joined together to get rid of the British we missed the point that only because of our separation through religion made it easy for the British to invade us. Still, we can sense the religious differences in many rural and undeveloped areas. Many people are being killed in the name of religious prestige. It's a bitter truth that religious differences are still placed in our country.

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.

In my point of view, unity comes when a problem originates that affects people commonly. We have many events that happened recently the COVID-19, flood. Etc. But if someone has to face a problem that affects only that particular one no one comes and helps you to overcome it. So in that situation, we have to unite over mind, body, . Etc to jump over from it.

As everyone said, Religion is not a reason for the division of people. How we have to see religion is how we wear dresses, we wear those as per our wish and the purpose and use of all dresses are the same, The real aim of religion is building discipline, ethics, Etc.

Hi,

My name is Kevin Johnson. I agree with the statement that problems unite us because if we did not have problems, people would never get to know each other and we would not be able to practice our values of sharing and caring for each other. As far as Religion is concerned, it was made by humans. The main purpose of every religion is to guide and make all of us better human beings. Every religion instills in us the values of compassion, sharing, and caring. Only through politics, we can see that leaders use religion to divide us.

According to me,

No matter in which dharma or religion we belong.

All religions and their holy books give a message to live with unity and always help others. So how can religion divide us?

And of course, a problem is a situation where we all take the initiative to overcome that particular problem.

I am not fully support with this statement Problem unite us, Religion divide us because if see our indian history when there was struggle for independence all the people of our country fought with the Britishers no matter which religion he/she follows or from which caste he/she was and recently also in corona virus pandemic people help each other like in distribution of foods and rations without knowing their religion.So, I agree with the statement problem unite us

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.

I completely agree with the first statement problem unites us I think we all agree with this because there is nothing wrong in this but I don't think religion divides us it's all about how he/she understands their religion.

In every religion the holy book there is mentions how to build good character and respect for others. But then there is a political party they use very well for getting votes and for personal advantages. So, I think we have to understand not to fight and maintain peace.

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 me, religion actually broadens our mentality, and teach us that all are the same and also gives us power to help people in need, thus religion doesn't divide us
