Seriously!
I see so many people have got so mired up with what happens after life that they have forgotten to live and are constantly fearing each other or scaring each other about after life.
Thanks, of course, to doomsday prophecies that each religion seems to have added.
I feel our fear of each other will make those prophecies come true, if at all.
We need a common enemy. How about some aliens? Or meteor?
It can happen, right?
So human beings get your act together, and find a way to survive that.
I am a bit disappointed that people from my religion are becoming increasingly fanatical. :(
I thought education should make people think rationally. :(
Otherwise, it is not education. It is literacy.
They know others scriptures better than our history or scriptures.
Not only do they know them better, but they also believe in them. lol. Now, what does that make them to be?
While I do believe in "our" gods, I also believe in policy of "live and let live".
If not for love of humanity, at least for self. Who know which human being from which religion or race will come to rescue us when chips are down against that indomitable alien.
The religion I would create would have only two enemies. The great meteors that killed dinosaurs, and of course aliens with their rotten alienoviruses and alienobacteria.
And human beings will always be victorious because our gods created us.

We do not need a new religion we need to beleive in each and every one of us. We need to know that we are all the same inside and we need to care about everyone around the world. Not just our own people but all people.

I practice my religion in my own way and religion provides you the freedom to do so. Trouble is lot of people look to some higher power to help explain them the nitty grittys of religion. They are asking to be controlled that way. Religion provides you a set of principles, guidelines; following them may or may not be your will but it sure helps you to stay away from all that could hurt you in the future. After all, all religions preach love and care for your brethren and all of them came into existence when people were in distress and had lost hope- ( Buddhism due to caste suppression, Christianity due to roman mishandling of the empire, etc ). So it really was just a way of making people feel better about the future and not lose hope and isn't that in essence, Humanity?

@vandana7 its a fad to be an atheist nowadays. Couple of fanatics do something wrong and religion or being religious takes the fall for it. That is not right.

@Kchitij2007 ..I never said I don't believe in god, because I can constantly think of him, fight with him, and feel he is somehow looking after me. But if I am asked to express my beliefs through rituals and books, I am sorry. I can't. It is one to one relationship with the almighty.

In my bias, religion is man made, so no, we do not need more of it. We could use more spirituality and kindness and a person does not need to follow any religion to have both of those. In my experience the most hateful, mean, angry, hypocritical people I have ever met have been religious while the most happy, caring, kind and loving people I have met have not been. Live and let live, fill yourself with Love instead of hate, be kind to others and enjoy life.

I've 'formed' one (okay, 'thought of' one)---I call it "Apologeticism." "Apologetic" is a style of any religion---a branch of it, that seeks to defend the religions beliefs with reason & fact. 'Apologeticism' goes a step further by defending OTHER RELIGIONS' BELIEFS ... the main mantra being "If that's what you need to believe to find peace-with-yourself, that's fine (as long as no one is harmed in the process)."
You could see it as a SUB-branch of the Nichiren-branch of Buddhism sgi-usa.org/memberresources/ which says (in some writings) that "All religions are forms of 'Buddhism' (which is literally 'following-after one who has seen The Light')." 'Following-after one who has seen The Light' (or '-one who has become The Light Itself, showing you how to become The Light Itself also,' as I might do if I consider Lord Jesus Christ to be my "Buddha"), you see the true cause/purpose of all religions: to find peace-with-yourself, or--as the Apostle Paul wrote--to 'run a good race.'
Religion develops because man has to see proof of his self-peace in the physical-world. 'Religion' literally means 'By the book (writings).'

Is it really necessary to create a new religion when there are so many conflicts among the existing religions, particularly Semitic(Abrahamic) religions? I have serious doubts!
