Some people say that much of human misery has caused by religions, both in the past and in the present day.


Religion in the world has always been a significant factor in the human life. Some people believe that much of human misery has caused by religions, both in the past and in the present day. According to this opinion I am going to analyse what it means ‘religion’ and what impact religion could have on our human life. Religion could be considered a philosophy or a matter, such as clay, and in the hands of human beings could be manipulated/ interpreted or simply ‘moulded’ of mind.
Mankind needs religion as a consequence of loneliness and a transcended instinct of insecurity. Throughout religion people try to find a comfort, the answer to many existential questions and guide lines of moral behaviour. That is why many people are followers of religion policies and , in general, religions has became a powerful weapon. It is well known, that in the past in different centuries there were many wars caused by religion, such as crusades in name of God, conquer of lands and ‘souls’ ( populations of new lands ), and persecutions. This imposition of a new ‘thru’ implied a slaughter and misery. Nowadays, religions has continued to affect our human life. In particular, in many developing countries the religions polices adopted has limited and prevented from a social education such as a control of birth. Consequently, the rate of both birth and infant mortality is very high and million of new born babies have died due to undernourishment and relating diseases.
In conclusion, over again, the influential religion institutions in whole world influence the policy making and through media they control and obstacle the public opinion in terms of new methods of science research. And it has done in name of irrational interpretation of the defence of life dignity.
