Religion can help all of this why ?
The ways of the world are more of negative deeds than positive deeds.
The wicked and bad gets away with whatever they want, doing, this is why I don't bsee religion doing enough around lately.

The religious man needs to abide by the laws and commandments of the holy book, stay away from certain things,and the society is one of this, staying away from this shows and guides one on the path to every religious man/woman.

why can't religion reduce the rate of crimes in our society?
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.
it could be that even without church, God will not be lost in us.
maybe you can give some examples of people losing their faith in god because of the situation

this is the best opinion in my opinion. because in principle all religions teach goodness and peace. but lust is not able to be controlled by the adherents of that religion, to pollute the sacred values taught by religion.

I believe that religion is a guide to being a better person, leaving better life. Sadly, many of our developing societies today are ruled by leaders that have shape-shift religion into either tools that they use to control the masses or an opium that is used to get the masses so high and addicted to limited and myopic sense of humor.

Religion learns the complete code of life. It briefs the system & conduct of society. It promotes political behavior and the financial system. It makes a society civilized. It builds the character of people and gives us success in life. It gives a peaceful spiritual system. It develops moral values. It engraves your personality into gold & diamond. but people do not follow religious rules and values.
Religion and it different beliefs have made the nations,societies and countries broken apart.The supremacy of one religion over the other is becoming problemsome in the society to the extend that the religions are fighting each other everyday and putting troubles in the mind of the people.

Religion and it divers beliefs has caused so many damage on the lifes of human being,Christians and Muslims fighting each other.To me religion is just bringing confusion in the society.

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?

Because after commiting crimes they go to mass, go to confession and are forgiven after praying 3 Hail Marys.

This applies to believers; I don't think religion has any influence on non-believers.

Region is like norms and culture of people from different perspective of life living, but you are directing your comments or emphasising in one directions which is Catholic church, let their be no condemnation and no procrastination, different churches have their method of pleading God from dirt life living, it's obvious that region can eradicate the level of crimes and it can only occur if it's well handled in the environment, what is the problem is that the way people living in A zone method of region and people who is residing in B zone method of life,  can not be the same, but bringing the A-B zone together it's obvious that they will be different adoption of character which might lead to different commitment of crimes from different angle.

What's better about dying? Christians know that there is an afterlife in Heaven or Hell. They know it lasts forever. So, any idea about focusing on religion for this life, is really missing the main focus.

As far as opinions about religion go, many opinions ignore God altogether. And that is what trouble is all about... ignoring God and what He says.

Your words are completely correct. Religion should make our life a better place to live in, but what happens is the opposite most of the time. I think the reason is the difference in the interpretation of religion. Each person in his own way, every person believes himself is right and the rest of people are wrong, even those who belong To one religion, you find between them a difference of views, conflicts and perhaps hatred. This happens in all the major religions, including Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
The stagnation in thinking and the lack of acceptance of the other opinion is the biggest problem of religion, which feeds these tendencies with more violence and hatred.

Religion has been a thing of controversy and I'll emphasise on Christianity as a religion because, that's the one I know much about and I am a Christian myself. One issue with religion is how one church views other churches and have different doctrims in honouring just one God. I wonder if churches are really helping, with the amount of churches in our world today and the resources available to them, the crime rate in our world would have been reduced to the nearest minimum. Sadly, this isn't the case as the crime rate increases by the day. Is it that, people aren't really attending these churches? What is the issue here or are the churches not passing on the proper message or its a thing of the congregation not practicing what is been thought.

Because beliefs alone can't change a person innate personality. There will always be a person, no matter what the religion is will do something you actually be surprised to see. There are even cases of priest being a pedophile, Pastor who kills someone, Chapel Server who steals and many more.

There are many hypocrites in every religion, who looks like someone very religious in church hours but different person in different days.

So yeah, religion has is not significant to reduction of crime rates in the system.

According to nonnewsledger.com, Top 10 Reasons for Crime are:
  • Poverty. This is perhaps one of the most concrete reasons why people commit crimes.
  • Peer Pressure. This is a new form of concern in the modern world.
  • Drugs.
  • Politics.
  • Religion.
  • Family Conditions.
  • The Society.
  • Unemployment.
  • Deprivation.
  • Unfair judicial system.

Quote
No one can escape from the fact; people still fight on racial divides and sectarian issues in society. Even though practicing own religion is a basic human right, yet many uneducated and illiterate people fail to understand it. In several criminal cases, religious fanatics have been accused of murdering innocent people based on their school of thought.

So, as we see, religion can help to reduce crime rates in a particular community, it is also one of the world's top causes of crime. Religious fervour can incite feelings of aggression towards those that do not share their religious beliefs.

Because its not about your religion or if you're a religious person.

Regardless of what beliefs you're following, its more on what kind of person you are.

Many people are not religious but their heart is pure.

Same goes for people often go to church but they're heartless inside and likely to do a bad deed.

I am not a religious person but just an opinion, I feel like(no matter what the religion is) the reason is sloth, gluttony, lust greed, envy, pride and wrath. with or without religion as long as there are these things crime will always be present.

Religion is a relic that was useful at the time it was created (thousands of years ago) for trying to give reason to much that was unknown in the world and acting as a basic legal framework for people at the time. However in the current world, where science has opened up our eyes to so much information, it feels a bit like a bad hangover that needs to go away. I feel like religion, either through different interpretations of the same text or different religions altogether, is currently the cause of so much misery in the world. If you resign yourself to fate or it "being God's will" then you are effectively using a lazy cop-out. If God does exist, why does he allow children to get bone cancer? Why does he allow babies in Africa to catch debilitating diseases that ruin their lives? You have always got to keep an open mind in life, but if he does exist, then maybe he is a cruel being that does not deserve to be worshiped. Man is perfectly capable of judging man, based on how societal law evolves and how the morality of the majority changes over time.


It comes to the idea that if the person is really good, he would follow what the religion teaches him. But if a man has a deceitful heart, there's no religion that will make him meek.
And there's already a division in religions because of their beliefs, the other say that the other is false and they're the only one who's right but can't prove themselves to be right.


Those are some really interesting religions you both have there.
