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

Crimes and violence are the part of the society as long as religion, unfortunately

Not all religions teach love and peace. Even those religions that in their inception called for peaceful coexistence between people, it turned out later that this was to win popular sympathy and to attract more followers. Then the laws of those religions are transformed into laws of life that impose the domination of one class or group of society over another.

Almost this happened with the most prevalent religions today on the surface of the earth, including Islam and Christianity, which was an element that helped to expand the empire in their time.

Indeed, religion always teaches about goodness. But human nature is different. There are people who have good personalities, there are also people who have bad personalities.

In essence, in this world can not be separated from the name of the nature of envy, jealousy, as well as other bad traits. Therefore, religion teaches us to always obey in a good way, and not easily get carried away by emotions.

There are some people who are obedient to their religion, some are not.

But what is the real chiristianity? It has been changing through years. Moreover, the Bible can be understood in many different ways

Some religions, yes... but others no.

When a person says he is a Christian and that is his religion, if he doesn't follow it, is it really his religion? Or is he a liar?

Check out the New Testament, the whole basis for Christianity. There is no call for violence other than self defense a little. Just the opposite. There are only calls for religious, Christian peace in the NT. The problem is people.

And if you want to say that Islam is the religion of peace, check all the places the Quran says to do violence: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10381547.

The religion you are emphasising is only meant for Christians and the ocean Muslims that is when you come into your religion not about culture. What from things that I notice even normal cultured environment do also love one another they give things two people without asking for return and I know that's such character is a character of a good religion but not everybody that follow such kind of behaviour. So I'm of this solution that stipulate that givers never lack and it's the religion i think your point deriving at

Right and true religion is this >>> to help everybody who has a real need, usually the poor, children, the weak and the sick, etc. And to do it for little or no pay.

And then to come to faith in the fact that when you die, it's really that Jesus is taking you out of this life to a new life in a new universe that has no problems, to live in joy for ever and ever.

Maybe I think you did not understand what what they're trying to expanciate with religion and and society because when you are asked to define what is religion and he also asked to define society. You will not see that society is fog different from religion but the boat work in accordance and would have a different meaning without religion society cannot function and with that society region cannot function so all this is totally the character of human behaviour as a woman adoption and the adaptation for one environment or one particularly ethnicity

Religion is not changing people in our society today because they only listen without practising. People believe they are the ones to get everything they want themselves without having faith in God.This has led people to so many evil forgetting that God has shown us how to live our lives.
  The devil knows we are humans so he brought sickness,diseases,problems and difficulties to make us afraid and believe there is no God so that we can do the other way round which is the evil way.
   If you don't have good morals that is a negative behaviour,a corrupt person can kill, all these are the devil's way. Most religious people are weak in their faith.

Religion in the dictionay:
Look at any religion. It has its dogmas, its rules, its instructions, and all kinds of parts to it. Everybody who reads or hears about the parts, thinks different thoughts than everybody else who reads and hears the same thing. The thinking might not be greatly different. But it is different, because no two people think exactly the same thing the same way.

This means that everybody who says that he is a Catholic is different in his religion than everybody else who says the same. All formally religious people are at least mistaken about what they believe. But if they insist that they are the same religion with everybody else of that religion, then they are liars.

This means that the "clear definition of religion that all schools agree on" is not so clear after all. And the dictionary shows this about it.

So, since everybody is a liar with regard to everybody else pertaining to the religions of their individual lives, we can go to science fact (not theory) that shows the odds of there not being a Creator as entirely wrong. The complexity of things shows that this universe couldn't have come about as it is without an extremely powerful, outside Intelligence having brought it into being. Such a powerful Intelligence matches our definition of the word "God" in all the ways each of us might individually think of the words within the definition.
