As an individual, I am deeply religious. Though I don’t visit temple often but still I respect my and other religion with highest order.
But today, a simple thought came to my mind. “What if there will be no religion or god in this earth “
This is not a new idea. Communists’ don’t believe in god and so as atheists.
But still I just gave a thought for few minutes and imagined how the world will look like if there will be no religion on earth.
My View:
Once Karl Marx had said “Religion is the opium of the people” The ruling class always use it as a weapon to rule the masses.The organized religion is a human made creation to impose the rule and order on working class as per their convenience.
If you think deeply, then you will get confused. If the religion is helping us to be united or it is working as a catalyst to divide the human race.
Let’s discuss about today’s scenario. If there will be no religion then there will no VHP, no Islamic state and no conversion of tribal population in the name of Holy Father.
There will be no religious fanatics who will try to impose their version of god. There will be no religious books which will provoke individuals to kill each other in the name of god.
People are committing genocide and crimes in the name of religion but still they are unquestionable because they are doing it in the name of religion and they are fighting a holy war.
If anyone will look around then he can find that all major problem the human race is facing is because of one fundamental believe that : “My religion or my God is greater than yours".
Among Hindus, they have a division based upon which Baba or guru they are following. A large population of Hindus can’t enter the temple as they are untouchables. But few Brahmins have the de-facto power to worship the god inside temple and they directly communicate with the almighty. I don’t know who gave them this power.
In almost all part of India, foreign missionaries are converting poor individuals and indigenous population in the name of charity.I am not going deep in details but Charity is good but to use it as a tool to convert is questionable. Some time it create tension among local population and we have seen violence due to this. The Idea behind this type of conversion is “My religion or my God is greater than yours"
In the most progressive country USA, after conversion also, Native Americans were slaughtered because they were not good Christians.
Hitler used religion to kill Jews during 2nd world war.
Whatever we are doing in our everyday life we are doing it in a religion point of view. We are not doing it with a human touch.
Future Religious War:
I have absolutely no doubt that, the world will have a religious war in future. As far as I can see, the 3rd world war will be fought on the basis of god to whom you worship. In fact the world is already in a state religious war. In last five years more than one million people has been killed due to a religious war in Arab region.
The present day Kashmir issue is a religious issue. Creation of Pakistan is a religious issue. Arab-Israel war is a religious one and the list will go on.
Closing Line :
The concept of religion and god is different what we know. It is the heart of heartless and soul of soul less. But now it is doing exactly opposite to this.
We need to think. Is the world will be better place to live if there will be no religion ? I don’t know. May v may not be.
If there will be no religion people may start to fight in the name of skin color. Then my culture is better than yours or I am an Indian and you are a non Indian or I am a African and you are a European … then bla bla bla.
I just gave my thought. I am no one to judge the whole world.
If you have any other view then you are most welcome.
