Religion is defined either as the
belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal
God or gods or as details of belief as taught or discussed. Throughout
millennia, in a quick overview of the historical narrative, the majority of
cultures and societies that lived on this planet had religion in any form in
their everyday lives. From the Olympian gods to Christianity and from Muslims
to Hindus and Buddhism, religion, either as monotheistic or polytheistic always
tries to communicate a common message; the evolution of the soul.
"Don't blindly
believe what I say. Don't believe me because others convince you of my words.
Don't believe anything you see, read, or hear from others, whether of
authority, religious teachers or texts. Don't rely on logic alone, nor
speculation. Don't infer or be deceived by appearances." Buddha
"All the
commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not
steal, you shall not covet, and so on, are summed up in this single command:
You must love your neighbor as yourself." Jesus Christ
"Kindness is a
mark of faith, and whoever is not kind has no faith." Prophet
Mohammed
"Should even
one's enemy arrive at the doorstep, he should be attended upon with respect. A
tree does not withdraw its cooling shade even from the one who has come to cut
it.“ Mahabharata 12.146.5
"Yes I am, I am
also a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and a Jew." Mahatma Gandhi
Whether one practices religion -or not- , is and should be
indifferent to the rest. After all, religion serves a purpose, and the mistakes
of the past should be our guide for the future. It is in this respect that we
urge you to understand that religion is not
dividing us. Religion toleration unites us.
