I feel religion has nothing to do with god.World is a creation done by someone whom we believe god. Religion is a subject written by a person who wants the society to lead a meaningful and clean life.
It is totally absurd people trying to proove their religion is superior to other religion.
To me religion is a must as it refrains from doing sins.
Do you believe in religion ?

I do not believe in religion, I believe in God. As a Christian, I am called into a personal relationship with God. A religion is just how we label ourselves for mans sake. When I stand before God on judgement day, he is not going to ask me what religion I am! The bible is the only law I need. Once I have accepted Jesus Christ as my personal savior, I am a new creature, with a new nature. When I follow the law laid out in the bible, it helps me stay away from sin and brings me closer to God. I don't need religion, I need God.

Religion is really unnecessary. If you believe, as I do, that man is good then we do not need a set of rules dictated by a supernatural being to tell us how to intereact with each other. Sin is a man made concept and was invented so that those in power could tell others how to act.

There is only one God and we call the God with different name because of different religion.It is not easy to quit the religion in one day.Because of our culture,we are following a particular religion for so many years.One religion trying to establish superiority over the other is the cause all religious clash in different parts of the world.

First Thing God is not man-made and hence Religion (serving God) is not a Concept or Sociology.
The Aim of Human Life is to Solve the problem of this material Life and go back to Kingdom of God.
But Man has his basic necessities of Eating, Sleeping, Mating and Defending that needs to be fulfilled too.
Hence It is Stated in Bhagavad Gita that God along with Religious Principles (How to engage in service of God) also gave the duties of Human according to his Mentality and Capacity. Hence God himself Created Society (Varnasrama), so that people learn to Leave together. Helping each other they get their necessities Satisfied. And Serving God, they connect with him and at the end of their Life they happily Go back to Kingdom of God.
Society is mainly Based on Culture. And Culture without Religion becomes Just a Fashion Statement.
If people are satisfied in the society they easily take up service to God. We get so many atheist now a days, as people are very less satisfied in Society. So Culture forms a very Good basis for Steady progress in Religion.
And the Highest Religion being Attainment of unmotivated Love of God. Both Religion and Society are very closely interdependent.

I don't trust in religion and caste system in this world. I do trust that all god are equal and should be respected equally. Religions were made for people to lead to path for peace and prosperity. Religion is a way to reach to god and his thoughts. There is nothing like superior or lower religion. villages in India still practise castism and people from inferior caste are not allowed even to visit temples and are considered to be unlucky. Religion for me is path to follow god. Very simple
