Religion: I believe religion is a practice that teaches ways of good conducts and we all tend to found ourselves in a religion. I'm so sure all religion talks about good that leads man to the right track, correction from evil, love for one another, peace. But we still come across killings and all sort of different crimes in our society. If the society should practice our individual religion which they tend to belong, i feel the world would be a better place for mankind
In my country religion is declining very fast, nobody is going to Church anymore. Kids these days don't even know the meaning behind the religious holidays. The only time when the church is in the newspaper it is because of some scandals. People just don't believe in God anymore. Which doesn't need to be a bad thing. If we look at the past we see that almost everybody was religious back in the day. It was very common to leave a lot of money to the church so you could go to heaven. But did this help to reduce crime rates? I don't think so, crime was pretty common in the past as it is today.
Going to church is not necessary for anyone in religions. I am catholic but I barely go to churches anymore, but I believe in GOD and trusts Jesus.
Less families in churches doesn't mean that their kids are not being taught who God was and who Jesus was.
Although, maybe some are now losing confidence to their beliefs because of the situation.
Don't you know that among the definitions of religion is this: "something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience: to make a religion of fighting prejudice?" - https://www.dictionary.com/browse/religion.
This means that your whole life is a religious one, because you have faith that you won't (hopefully) die in the next minute or two. But you really don't know. Every now and again and asteroid/meteorite hits the earth. But nobody knows when or where. "The odds," you say. Lol. Ever heard of a car accident, or many other things?
