Do you think religion is important?

Do you think human population can live without religion?

How they are going to setup a system without the reference of any kind of religion?

:rolleyes:

Your honest and sincere answers are much appreciated. :)
 
assalaamu alaikum

I think religion is necessary for order. If we had nothing to live by, imagine how chaotic the world will be....it'd be even crazier than it is today.

Also, religion is necessary for a set of guidelines to live by. It presents what is allowed and separates it from what is forbidden. Without these guidelines, people would just run around acting upon their instincts without giving a thought to the consequences.

I think human population can live without a religion, but our lives would just be full of hatred and lacking compassion. Nobody would care about one another. Also, many people would just go around killing each other. Nothing would stop them because they wouldn't believe in any set of rules, morals, and guidelines. They would so to speak "go with the flow" and do what they feel they need to do to survive even if it goes against others.

Moot point, without God(swt) there would be no people, therefore there would be no need for religion.

Now, if we take the view of atheism, people would exist and there would be no need for religion, only a need for social order for the sake of survival. Personaly I do not believe that view is correct.

That is what Soviet Socialism did under communism. I will not say it could not exist. I will only say that personaly, I would not like it.

I can not imagine life without it. I would say it is very important to me, but there are many people in this world who place no value on it.

easy.. people can have morals and not have a religion. the whole "without religion we would be corrupt" thing is absolutely propaganda. even if god never existed and there was no judea, or other nations with religion, i still think there would be morals and ethics.

i am a dedicated and very devout christian, but i don't feel that everyone needs religion, and i think sometimes religion can cause more problems then good.. maybe not in my personal life, but in life in general.
 
I can't find any links right now, but I read that a recent poll showed that 50% of people in Britian think religion has a negative influence on modern life, and people would be better off without it ... imsad

If I find the article, I will post a link here ...

peace
 
So far every religion in its origial form has proved to be counter productive for humankind. This is a fact which cant be ignored. All religions have changed themselves sensing trouble.

We are yet to see the practical test of religion to prove that it provides the society GOD wants.

And not believing in religion is not atheism, atheism is not believing in GOD. I believe in GOD but not in any religion.
 
Hindu isn't only referred to Hinduism but also a region. Like someone could be a Muslim living in India and could call himself/herself a Hindu..

wow!! that's news to me....i guess you do learn something new everyday!
 
look at the time of the prophet muhammed (pbuh) when there was caos and people had to be to pray to status and how the rich were mean to the poor and treated them harshly and also when baby girls were buried alive and and woman were treated as objects. Now imagene if there wasnt no religion nowadays it would be 10 times worser.

It is important because religion is a fact. Personally, I don't believe the world is necessarily a better place because of the existence of religion though.

Yes. Why not?

On political systems: Thats easy. Since the majority of political systems in this world are actually without any reference to religion at the moment. Few countries in the West reference to religion in their constitutions. India and China both have secular constitutions as well. Thats already a majority of the world.

On social systems: There are many countries in which religion is simply not a very important aspect of life. Especially in many West European countries and Asian countries like Japan and Korea. Yet, these countries seem to manage just fine. Generally these are stable countries with no particular high tendency towards, say, violence.

What are you basing that on? Are countries which did not go through the same development as the Arabs do much worse of? Remember, many countries did not encounter a strong prescribing, legalistic and monotheistic religion like Islam. Much of Eastern Asia did not have anything remotely similar to Islam happen to them. Yet, do you believe these Asian countries like Japan, Korea, China and India are worse of than the Arab world?
 
Political systems are a religion in themselves where the the rules of God are replaced by rules of people.

i would say that yes religion is important...and the existance of other religion is important to me too...because to me, i think that the other religion helps me keep my imaan strong...weird i know, but its strangely true for me :)

and we just had a class discussion the other day and the other girls said that
we did not need religion because we have manners of conduct ad blah blah...one of my friends said that how did these manners come from...they said that they were brought up with it...so they exist...but none were able to answer where it originally came from...but we know that manners/way of life all of these came from religion right?

so basicly what i was trying to say there was that without religion, we wouldnt know what is right and what is wrong :)

:w:
