Is religion a source of unity or division?

[NKVD]

Unity only to those who believe truly in Religion and others find many ways to get divided

WHICH Religion???

 

[Jaanbaz]

Both. Religion like any ideology can be used for good or bad. What i laugh at is when Atheists blame all religions for the bloodshed when Atheism itself becomes state sponsored( Communism) it has also committed horrendous acts.

Any ideology in the hands of few corrupt individuals can turn into something horrible. Human history is full of it. Personally i have nothing against Humanism, i actually admire Humanists and the principles they stand for.

Religion can only divide. It is created, maintained and followed to divide.
Only Faith can Unite.

Most Desis will know this concept. It's another matter they hardly follow it either

 

[Durrak]

It can be source of unity as well as division depends on where people are taking you. . . In modern era it would be more good if a person would be left alone with his acts.

Is religion a source of unity or division? - Inside Story - Al Jazeera English

It is blamed for wars and discrimination, yet also embraced as a means of resolution and integration.

Religion is the source of many arguments, while some studies suggest it is on the decline.

A conference in Qatar is promoting a message of interfaith dialogue, of religion as a means of global co-existence.

"This is very helpful in terms of breaking misconceptions, all the challenges we have in the peace-building process, the barriers to achieving peace, it is very important that we search for common ground," Rohaniza Sumndad Usman, founder of the Teach Peace, Build Peace Movement told Al Jazeera.

Blaming religion as the cause of conflict is an easy generalisation to make.

Fighting in Central African Republic is between Muslims and Christians; Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims are involved in the violence in Myanmar; the conflict in Northern Ireland had its roots in religion; and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is seen as having a religious dimension.

But in all these examples, there are more fundamental driving forces - be it land, power or nationalism.

So is religion at the heart of conflicts around the world? And do different faiths have the will to work together for a common good?

the way you use it..

Then accept Humanism as your Religion be a good human in first then believe to be other thing

If you are not a good human being first then you cannot be a good Muslim either. In Islam there are two important rights, these are rights of God(fasting, prayer and hajj etc) and rights of his creation which include charity, kindness with parents, relatives friends, neighbours, even forgiving enemies and not taking revenge.

Religion was manufactured by martians to unite humans and make them slaves,but humans screwed that up by discovering different religions and started fighting with each other which is why martians had to leave this planet.

if we act exactly according to religion then there is no greater source of unity between humanity than religion but if we use religion then there is no greater source of conflict than religion.

 

[Edison Chen]

it's a tool.

 

[Spring Onion]

Religion does not unite anybody. Also nationalism does not unite anybody. Only Family values unite people. Nationalism and Religios fanatics using the family values of people to infiltrate their homes and minds.

no only foreign invasion unites people.

Yes only for few times like you see in the crusades
