No religion doesn't divide us. Every religion teaches humanity various concepts. But these days religion became a source for spreading hate towards each other for the sake of some benefits that are really harmful to every religion. So, 1st we need to learn what actual religion taught us. Every religion presents peace and harmony. Now coming to the point problem unite us. Yes, the problem unite us for example blood banks at that time no one get thought related to religion because they need blood for life. And also with Covid-19 people were only thinking about their life because the whole of humanity was in trouble. So my conclusion is that religion teaches us how to live in a world with peace and harmony and problem teach us humanity is cardinal.

Hi.

Yes, I agree with the statement "problems unites us" but I am partially agree with the statement "religion divides us". We can take a recent example of Covid-19 that how everyone unites and battled with this problem and lot's of many more situations we have seen in past that proves this statement correct. But I personally thinks that religions never aims to divides us. Religion tells us "sarve bhavantu sukhinah" and "vasudev kutumbakam" these things comes from religions. Some of the people us religion to create conflict and division among the people It's us who fight for religion and dividing people like political parties use it for their own vote banks.

So, I think we the people are responsible for division not the religions.

Hello,

Every person has problemS. Every day we face a lot of problems, we can't expect mankind without problems but when we start facing them that tells how much we are strong in our problem solving skills.

All people pray for the same god in different types of religions when god is showing no difference then why should people show difference in the name of religion. God is only one. God sees only the dedication that we show towards him no matter in which religion we are. India is a pool of religions. When problems arise in India then all the religions unite, become one and start solving the problems. The religion does not divide the people divide it is up to us in which way we choose. So, believe in unity in diversity.

THANK YOU

I agree with the topic "Problems unite us, Religion divides us".

The problem unites us.

When people face a problem, the only thing they search for is the solution to get out of that problem or situation.

For example, if a person is met with an accident and needs blood immediately then he will be required with the matching blood group but not whether the donor is from which religion. If he is thinking of religion or other then he will be at great risk.

In the same way, during covid also everyone came together irrespective of one's religion.

Religion divides us.

Religion divides because of different beliefs and thoughts. They might be in contrast to each other's beliefs which can raise differences when there is no understanding.

It is true that when human beings face problems they come together. We can take many instances to prove that. In October 2013, Cyclone Phailin hit Andhra Pradesh and Odisha and caused immense damage. When such a calamity befell India, people of India came forward to help their fellow citizens.

Funds started pouring in from all parts of India and many organizations such as the ISKCON Food Relief Foundation and Google came forward to offer their help. It is sad to note that only when problems arise do people show care and concern to their fellow citizens.

Religion-Everyday we can see one column in newspaper covering the act of violence on the name of religion. People have the tendency to kill each other on the name of religion.

Problems and religion both collect crowds the only difference is people come together to face and solve a problem while they stand against each other for religion. Religion is faith and spreading love but all these years mankind never understood this and will never try to. But problems and crisis are the time when people unite to find a solution that time no one bothers what religion you are what cast you belong to nothing, only aim is to solve the problem. In spite of cursing the bad situation we should be thankful to them because that is the time when people unite and the real ones stay beside you in your crisis. Thus there could be no better situation other than crisis to find out the real humanity in a person.

Thank you.

I agree with the statement that "Problems unite us ". If we have a common problem surely it will be easy to search for a solution together. In this process, we get to know each other and this builds strong bonds amounts us. The recent war against Covid 19 shows how all countries regardless of religion came forward to find a solution.

The Statement "Religion divides us" is controversial. If we look into the past there have been many wars and conflicts based on religious differences, which was in the past. And I believe that now it is in our hands to change it. This will remain a problem if we give statements by keep looking into the past. It's us who need to change our view about religion as a dividing barrier.

I would like to put my opinions about this topic "Problems unite us and religions divide us".

I do think that for problems which we face, we look for help and the help us who can give and solution to it could be anyone like our friends are tips the people who know but this person can also be from other religions and what we only look for the solution at that time when we are facing a major problem it's what people's nature which unites a person with another not the religion differentiate between them in different scenarios where people don't like other religion then they will not even bother to take help from any person who is from other religion so, in that case, religion May divide people from other people.

The respective statement can be interpreted in various ways, but it is not necessary for people to unify or split in both situations. In my opinion, it is the heart that matters.

For example, India is a country with a diverse culture, and we celebrate each and every religious festival, which unites our hearts in joy. The same can be understood in the case of problems or suffering, if we talk about globally then everyone has taken up the challenge to unite everyone's efforts for a sustainable future.

Although, if viewed from a different perspective then the entire situation could vary. As previously stated that it all depends on the heart of people or their genuine love and responsibility towards each other.

Problems unite us, they never end in life, gets more complicated though. But we need to fight these problems honestly rather than running away from them since that won't help us in any case as the problems are going to chase down for sure.

Religion is a name given to us by our society, I feel all religions are the same and have one god. I don't feel that it divides us even after reading every other article in the newspaper regarding the same.

Consider partitions of India, these didn't arise due to religion. These were created due to political differences. India is politically very unstable which is the major reason for creation of problems.

Neither Religion nor politics divide us, it is the politics.
