Do You SOMETIMES Doubt Religion?

So I found quote on Facebook saying we don't need religion to share kindness. As person with religion, I find this quote interesting. In one side, this could be true for the atheist, because actually there are so many people with amazing heart without religion. In another side, religion itself actually teach moral and kindness. When one create sin and damage people in the name of religion, it's not religion's fault, it's that people's fault. Unfortunately, in this case, the actor shows like he is religious person. That religions people who often spread hate and do harm sometimes do make me question about the function of religion itself. We often attack people just because they have different religion and give them label. We often call those who different as sinner and we believe they will go to hell. Is this true God will put people on heaven with religion as the main judgement? *We don't talk about certain religion, so no racism here please

That's what I believe too It's actually so simple if everyone nod this. We don't have to debate which one is the right one and which one is wrong.

@redvakaurvaki No one is right or wrong when it comes to being spiritual . What is right is that they believe in God.

@SIMPLYD Doing help in a good way is very essential whatever may be the case. If we do well first we will be happy which means God is also happy "because I feel that inside every there will be God".

I am sure that we do not need to be religious to be kind. Sometimes people kill in the name of religion. There is not a right or wrong religion, there are only bad and good people.

@LadyDuck If people were more tolerant, religion would not be issue anymore and people will not abuse it to attack and spread hatred. We can imagine how the world would become much better

Very well said, @ladyduck ... Sometimes it's just about people, not religion. Unfortunately, in multi cultural country like Indonesia, people could blame religion easily. It's pervert

@redvakaurvaki I can imagine that it is harder to live in a multi religion country. The world would be better if all people were more tolerant.

Religion is not the basis of whether you will go to heaven or hell. It is personal relationship with the true and one and only God.

Yes, because God is one. Religion could be just one of tools available for people to communicate with Him. I remember the saying from Mahatma Gandhi that God Himself doesn't belong to any religion

In my belief, I would answer it yes Because we can not do something without guides, we may do good, but how and why we do it, Religion conducts us the guidelines I might do good by giving the poor some money, but if I threw the money in front of his face, nope...it can not be something good according my religion guidelines

True, religion itself actually show us the guidelines how to behave and manner.

@redvakaurvaki I don't know whether a religion can change a person, but I can assure that humanity will definitely change any one. We are here not for judging but to make relations which are health and friendly. That is what I feel. It is better to stay away than to talk about religion issues.

Yes, me too, religion is not my favorite topic. In Facebook, people could easily throw pshy-war on religion matters. I would rather refrain myself from responding

@redvakaurvaki They just need a topic to bash out. I find no sense in those who say religion is everything.

No, I don't doubt religion at all. I believe He is there all the time and I live to serve Him.

Religion could lead us to be a better person and build up our relationship with God. And yes, you should have faith in God

You might be surprised that many of us atheists agree with some aspects of your points here. As we don't believe in God then we can only blame people for the cruelties some people attribute to God. Much wrong doing is regrettably in the name and cause of promoting religion.
