religion, to believe or not?
GOOD EVENING. I am here today to discard the belief that Religion has done more harm than good throughout history. In order to do that, I am going to start by exhibiting what Religion has already done for us as a society, what Religion allows us to do , and how we use the name of Religion to “excuse” our bad attitudes or acts.
First of all, let me tell you that never have I been so sure that Religion does more good than harm to our society. It is due to Religion that our society could become civilized. It has not only taught us how to dress, how to civilize, but also how to educate ourselves and how to live a life of an “appropriate” human being.
In other words, we can actually say that Religion is one of the best things that has happened to mankind. It has brought wisdom to humans such as cultures (Romans or Greeks for example), reading and writing; and it has also awakened our knowledge.
But the questions here are: what consequences has religion might have in our society?, How Religion may affect people’s living and how civilization comes about it?. According to Will Durant, a renowned philosopher, states that:
“Civilization is a social order promoting cultural creation, it is constitute by four elements, economic provision, political organization, moral tradition, and the pursuit of knowledge and the arts.”
What Durant says here is that all of these four elements rest upon one pillar, which is the sense of security. In other words, justice. If we remove this sense of security, all the society would fall apart. Because one of the base(?) principals of religion is to establish justice and sense of security among people. Thus, what Religion basically wants is to protect our knowledge, our lives, our livings, and our common belief. For all these reasons, we can say that is all about giving protection to society, in order to people can live in peace with each other.
As stated, Religion is a choice and a healthy way of life for many. It is special and
