Problems unite us, Religion divides us

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.

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.

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.

"Yes, I agree with the statement 'Problems unite us.

During the coronavirus pandemic, people helped each other without considering who the person was or what their caste was. They helped everyone. I think religion was created for political or educational purposes".

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.

Hi,

My opinion about this topic is, that it's never a religion that divides us but it is the mentality and thinking that divides us. Religions title our country as a nation with diversity in peoples' faith and culture, customs and traditions which distinguish us from any other nation in the world. Speaking about problems when it occurs its the humanity within us which makes us forget that people in need belong to which religion or even country.

Yes, I do agree with this. In case of India, it is true that we as religious parties hate each other. We would throw taunts at each others try to demean each others and few even gets comative in nature due to these religious differences. In India the major differencein religious parties is between the hindus and the muslims. Howver you would find in the time of sports like cricket match both will support India, be it India vs Pakistan. Also, in time of surgical strikes muslims in our country were against Pakistan`s terrorist activities. These are the times when religious groups in India actually unite and talk on behalf of others. Thank you.

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.

Freedom fight against Britishers by Indians is best example of this sentence. Our forefathers knew importance of unity and achieved freedom for us. So everyone be united.

As every one of us thinks differently and looks at things differently, problems can be solved easily with many people in it. One solution comes from one, the other from someone else. Everyone keeps adding to the solution so it makes us realize how every individual important.

On the other hand, religion does seem to come up often in headlines and soon people start diving into groups that draw a boundary among people of the exact nature thus making us weaker as a community.
