Religion is an ancient and strong concept that is familiar to mankind. Simply, religion is a belief system that assists man to comprehend God, life and the surrounding world. It determines the way people worship, they live and their relationships with other individuals. We should not always consider religion to be a Sunday or Friday activity because religion is a lifestyle.
Religion influences our decision, morals and culture. Values that are taught in Christianity, Islam as well as traditional beliefs include love, honesty, patience and respect. People are able to achieve peace with God and hope to live a better life by prayers, fasting and good deeds. Religion is also a thing that brings consolation during difficult times and power during difficult circumstances.
However, Religion is not supposed to separate us because it is a virtuous form of teaching togetherness, kindness and compassion. It is a reminder that we all are human beings regardless of our tribe, language or status and we are all in need of meaning, purpose and a relationship with Divinity.
