Religion does more harm than good?

To dig this further, we should go back to the birth of religion. Religion is man made and it teaches about the way of life. Religion was created when people did not even know where the sun goes in the evening. They needed a belief system that answers their basic questions. In short 'religion is for people who needs it', there are people who needs some hope in life. Someone in jail or someone in death bed need something to believe in.
It is more like hand rails on a staircase. Its important that everyone has them but don't use them.

Will getting rid of all religions solves all the problem?
No, it will create more chaos. Now atleast people try to follow their belief system, problem comes only when one belief steps on another. Without a system to believe in, everyone will do what they think is right. Only solution is to educate more people about the values of religion.

hmm,..Religion may/can be man made..However I strongly believe God is one and he exists...he is goodness. So he is in the form of all positive energies in this world...Hope, Belief, Confidence, Help...in all good forms. When you adapt these qualities you become one...a goodnes..a god. Ancient tamiz very simply said it "Anbe Shivam"
