Every religion has its specific doctrines,codes,conducts,customs and rituals that differentiat one from the other.The choices,philosophy and freedom of an individual get restricted by a set of stringent religious rules and codes.In a globalised society,where we are gradually getting closer and closer in our broad human relationship,the importance of a religion having a set of restrictive doctrines,codes and rituals is gradually eroding.Is a religion necessary and important in to-day's globalise world? Why can't we have a single human religion?Pl share your viewpoints.

religion is still important since it is the core of our inner being..different folks, different strokes..all we need is an open mind and respect others' personal beliefs/religion..

Is it the religion that people are after or is it their inner pace?
If it was religion that people want them evrybody would join them, but its the deaper understanding of life that evrybody is looking for. Religion can help you and it can harm you at the same time.
I personaly dont have strings with any religion but I respect all of them, becouse religions are also expression of trues. Your existance is religion in itself. Just the simple trues "I AM" can bee enough for some.
Nobody and no thing can fulfill you or make you happy, it's your inner world that needs to be looked at to have a great inpact on your life.
Evry religion and evry teching is like a garden where "YOU" can pick flowers that you like and then move on to the next garden if you feel like.
I dont thik you want to be "THAT perso" who goes to curch and then pretends to be a nice person, not knowing that finding and understanding our true nature we already are nice people and we dont need to pretend?
I love when people are confused and ask questions, becouse when you feel confused your mind is confused, let it pup like a bubble, let it give up, and you will find the truth that you are looking for when your mind gives up.
You already know what is true, it's just your mind trying so hard co confuse you.

Thanks for nicely responding and sharing your insightful viewpoints. I do absolutely agree with your broad minded views.People truly look for the wisdom that help them to understand their inner reality and identity,but their mind is so much attached and focussed on the outward aspects of life,their faculty of experience is so much rooted in the gross reality of relative aspects of the worldly life,they fail to look inwards to their inner world. All religions to-day mostly guide us for improvement of outward values and character of life. But what is important is a holistic approach for purification and awakening of inner consciousness.
Have a nice day!!

Religion can have a good base to teach about spirituality, but religion can also separate the world like nothing else. It can lead to fighting and so many other problems in our world. Overall, the majority of religions have the same base values, such as to be a good person, to help others, to be honest, etc...
