We, the religious, tend to forget that God is in control. If we don't stand up and fight for righteousness in society, God just might give us the same troubles that the unrighteous, non-religious people have.

But God straightens it all out for everybody, right where he is in his life. A wicked person might live a long life. But God is simply giving him a load of chances to change by finding religion. In the end, we all die.

In the further end, we all will have to give an account of our life to God. A person who said he was an atheist, will be corrected in the judgment. But then it will be too late for him.

Because not all people believe in religion and it's rules/commandments well in fact those non-believers often tend to do crimes.

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

Accourding to St. Augustine. In his "City of God" There are two peace in the world. Earthly peace and Heavenly. He said, heavenly peace is the best because there is no war, conflict or human disagreement in heaven. But earthly peace is the one we found ourselves. There is peace on the Earth but human with their accumulating ideas creates or causes disagreement among themselves. http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/history/dfg/jesu/augcity.htm

In the state of Nature. According to Thomas Hobbs. Man is wicked, brutal, nasty and life is very short. That is to him human is beings are very wicked from birth. But Political philosopher, Rousseau  Said, Human beings are good but it is the society they found themselves make them to be wicked. Someone that was good in the society became bad person because of what they did to him or her.

And also accourding to Karl Marx, Religious is an Opium. And what is an Opium? Opium is a substance which is used to make someone very weak for not to do what he or she supposed do to liberate his or her life from bondage. https://www.britannica.com/video/186414/opposition-religion-Karl-Marx.

Religious can't make peace because the people are control by the Politicians. And these Politicians are using divide and rule ideology. All the overseas are supporting the Political elites so, peace is absent in the world.

not everyone that is practice religion and practising religion does not mean a person will be good, their are two kind of religious people we have , the believers and the unbelievers.  It is not the responsibility of religion  to end evil totally in the society.  I know religion plays good role in the society but  not to stop all the evil going on in the society . We can also say parental up bringing of children in our society can also reduce evil in the society.
religion create good living in society. For the classification of religion according to you is noted but those you called unbelievers have their own religion their practice and they believe something ease, when we are talking or making point of religion know very well that we are not focusing on christians but discussing on what you have as your religion, people worship devil's as believing culture and some people worship something like different from God, but can't condemn them because it is what they grown up with

Yes, two religious people can't be measured, it means they will be both good. but the level of faith they have that determines. just as a person who has high religious knowledge is not necessarily a good person if his knowledge only fills his head and does not enter into his heart let alone become the character of his personality. so many Islamic scholars say "A civilized (moral) person is much more worthy of respect and better than someone who has high knowledge but is not civilized (immoral)".

and the matter of improving the surroundings so that it is good can be done by improving starting from yourself. be useful to yourself and not to trouble others. just to the next stage that is useful for others.

Life is short. If we live to be 100, we are blessed with long life. Life in the hereafter will be forever. And that is the main goal of true religion... helping people find Jesus salvation, so they find their goal of living in Heaven forever.

Religion that is used with a focus of making earthly life better, has lost its #1 goal. Betterment of the earthly life is for bringing people to the knowledge of salvation. Without that, betterment usually doesn't last for more than 100 years.

Religion can not reduce the rate of crime in the society. It is a choice whether to be  religious or not. Although many religion had been talking about peace, unity and love for one another, still yet the urge to commit crimes in available in our mindsets. Religion does not stop us from engaging in our daily activities or does it compel us to do what we don't want to do.

This is choice, it is beneath us whether we want to be guided by what our religion says or we are gonna follow our mind. Even with the harsh policies and law enforcements guiding each and every steps we take, people contineously indulge in crime. Religion has no say here.

Religion today has lost its content and value mostly because of the inability of many religious leaders to bring to the light of truth many wrongs that are going on in the society today.

Unlike when we use to have religious leaders that can stand up publicly and condemn many unjust acts irrespective of the echelon of the perpetrator, but today religion is now a means of Enterprise, and everything is progressively failing.

Pretense is the order of the day, in religion of nowadays,we look as if, we serve God but inwardly we don't,we are so much confirm by the WORLD and not the WORD. Religion is supposed to change the heart of men,make us love one another but reverse is the case.
Let's take a look at Christianity,we have different denomination,such as Deeper life, Apostolic church,White garment churches, Living Faith,Winner chapel e.t.c but just because our doctrine is different from each other,we tends to discriminate against ourselves, forgetting the fact that the serve one God.

It's because there are other religions, like humanism - which is selfishness and greed - which are overcoming the good religions to some extent.

The main reason why good religion seems to fail, is that people are looking for it's success in the wrong way, rather than the main reason why religion exists in the first place. Religion isn't here to make people and life good... at least not as its primary function. Religion's primary function is to teach people the only way to find eternal life... Jesus Christ, and Him crucified for our sins.

Like as nobody can create and bring himself to life, so nobody can raise himself from death.

Like as Jesus gives everybody their first life, even so He is the only one who can give them their next life.

Yes Of course Religion metter for society or for a man. But there is devil. Who always try to throw you on wrong side. The man can only go on right way by the blessings of God.
For first time what is religion? That is first thing we should ask ourselves, religion is a doctrine of a particular group or particular set of people stay or living in one territory, religion make people to behave differently and mostly changes our mindset, that is why when making reference with religion it is very difficult to differentiate the impact of religion to the societies, i can agree with you by the emphasis of man can be right by the blessings of God, which way of God is also some people religion, kind of life

Religion has taught what can be done and what is forbidden. and when people obey religious rules. then I also believe this world will be better. and the most appropriate question regarding this is Why do people not want to obey the religion they profess?
so it's not a question of why religion can't reduce crime rates. but this is a question of why people do not want to obey their religion.

and the answer is very simple, that is because everyone has a desire in him. This desire has both good and bad.
bad desires such as greed, envy, jealousy, pride and wanting to be the most superior (ria).

 religion has taught to control these bad desires and managed to become good. such as greed can be made into the path of goodness if he is greedy looking for treasure but he still does not harm others and often helps people who need help.

and sometimes we can not directly blame the people who do evil. because there must be a reason why he could be evil. maybe he had been hurt by people so that his heart went blind.
so start improving yourself and never hurt others because we don't know the people we hurt can turn into criminals because they've been hurt.
let's hold fast to a religion that definitely teaches goodness.

Exactly,discrimination is one of the reasons why religious intolerance is active in the world. It is in the constitution,that human rights like freedom of worship should not be violated,that is to say that man as well as human being have the right to worship what ever they tend to worship,so that shouldn't cause any chaos in the society,but unfortunately,human being cannot love one another nomatter what,that is why there will always be issues and problems among humans.
There's are so many people who practice different religion in the world today. Although there are 6 great religion in the world. We have Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddaism and Hindaism.  All these religion have the same purpose, they teach about the same love, rights of a believer. But due to the mindset Man has, he as Backslide, and want power and materialistic things of the world. These stuffs has made him ready to do anything just to acquire what he really desires. Normally, it's a big task to keep Each rules and regulations that govern the people of these different religion. The religious beliefs are based on what you believe, not what you see,  It's within you.

Many people belong to different religion and have different beliefs. One thing is common that all these religion’s teaches, to love one another, peace, unity, harmony etc. Every religion teaches positivity but the negativity comes in from the negative thoughts of man, quest for power and greed, this spoilt everything. You always find one bad beans in a group of beans that will affect the rest negatively. But nevertheless, the good ones will always overcome the bad ones if they’re determined for it.

I feel religion can't reduce (nor put an end) to crime in our society, in fact, Christianity as a religion does not preach that there won't be crime or evil, the scripture (Bible) mentioned in 2 Timothy 3:1-2 that
"1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,", if we read the chapter further, the scripture (Bible) stated those behaviors that will be exhibited by people in the end time, this mean there would be crime, evil and even suffering in the world and there's nothing we can do about it. Yeah, it sounded appriopriate to say that religion should be able to cub evil, but it's so sad that the opposite is what we experience, and truly, nothing could be done about that, we are in the end time!

    People now is hard to please them to change even their self they can't tolerate and that's people now who live in this generation. More people forgot their religion their spiritual has blinded by the advantage things like technology, Social Media and many more to influence . That's why people now has change by the time on what they want and , because of debt in life or living vulnerable and human is precious that easily to temptation but hoping that their some people still had a good righteous heart to continue doing God's will.

I believe all religion teaches peace and unity, love for one another. If everyone truly believe, respect and follow the teachings of his/her own religion everything in the world will be going smoothly. But all this happens because of the bad eggs that can be found in all these religions. No religion has 100% follower who believe and follow all the teachings of its religion hence the destruction, war and lack of unity. I believe if all religion can have at least 90-95% good followers and follow the teachings, then the world will be at peace as the good people will supersede the bad ones.
