Most of us believe a lot in god and religions. Most of the religions and beliefs are thousands of years old. Many believe that god created the religions and wrote the holly books. But, actually, what is the truth? And do we really need religions?
God never created any religions. Only people did. When the people didn't have any guidelines to live a good life, to prevent them from doing sins, religions were created. The people who created them used the symbol of God to give more belief to the people about those principles, and instill fear in them, against doing sins. The holly books were also written either by the people who created the religion, or by his followers.
Religions have many merits. The messages they give are all good. The fear they create against sins, and the guidelines they provide for a good life must be appreciated. It has the merits of an association too. But, history shows us that, there has always been a battle going on between people of different religions. The religions become an addiction for the people, and they fight over it. Thats a major drawback of religions and the biggest threat to secularism. How much blood has been spilt in the name of religion!
Friends, think, God is nothing but truth, justice, peace and one's own mind. People worship it in different forms, but, all them whom they worship are the same, and even the worship isn't necessary. Standing with truth, spreading peace, serving people, and doing what we think is right, are the forms of worship that is required. We have only 1 god, we need only 1 religion, that of humanity.
