sorry if I am kind of highjacking the thread. how do you guys feel about religion or priests endorsing politicians? Our country, The Philippines, recently had our presidential election. as you can expect campaigns are everywhere which is fine by me, but what really irks me is that during the campaigning days a catholic church is being used by the supporters of one of the presidential candidates as a venue for her campaigning event, they even created a song for that candidate which was sung during a mass and priests pushing their political agenda during their sermons.
there is also a Religion called INC(Iglesia ni Cristo) in our country which Endorses Presidential and Vice presidential candidates to the people in their religion and asks them to support the Politician the religion endorsed.

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.

Corruption of Political leaders and elite class is a major cause of unrest and crime in many countries and in particular developing world. Corruption can only be eliminated when system of accountability is effective and it is across the board and public should only vote for those politician who are honest, committed and above all God fearing because we often forget that we all will be judged for our good and bad deeds on the day of judgement which is the basic teaching of every religion.

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
Well written if all of us can actually follow our individual religion genuinely I think the world would have been a better place but the way our color is different so is the heart so it is not possible for all humans to behave disame , we can only correct and advise one another to always do good.

I see it that religion is what will bring this world to an end, because the different religion group we have now no longer respect boundaries. U see a preacher who will rubbish another religion without thinking of what the other person feels.
Sometimes this ends up in quarreling and killings. If was not introduce for one to be right or wrong, believe what u want and let the other person feel free to do same. But we fight to defend the religion which is we think is superior. It

Religion is a good one but we don't expect religion to tell us what we ought to do and what we ought not to do. The world is dancing away from religion and we have to fix ourselves before we put everything on religion. Everyone has a responsible and we should make sure we are doing the right thing than puting all blame on religion. So religion tolerate peace while some choose to bring it forcefully.Religion: I believe religion is a practice that teaches ways of good conducts and we all tend to found ourselves in a religion.

I believe religion has very important role in development of our personality and how we interact with society. Religion teaches us humanity and & kindness. Children who attend religious services at least weekly are more likely to have positive social development than those who never attend religious services. Similarly, adolescents who worship at least weekly are less likely to steal than those who worship less frequently. All regions teach us behave gently and not to commit crimes in society but the issue is parents don't practice their religion and don't take their children for religious service and worship regularly.

Look at item 6 in the definition of religion at https://www.dictionary.com/browse/religion.
6. something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience:
to make a religion of fighting prejudice.
Everybody has a different religion, because no two people think exactly alike. The thing that is wonderful is that most people include in their personal religion, acting peacefully with people of religions different than theirs.

Religion is one's believe in a supernatural being.It is written in the constitution that there is freedom of worship,that is to say that one has the right to worship whatever or who ever he or she deems it fit.There is also right to life,which means that when one worships what he likes,he is free to live.But the society has changed the whole thing,making religion seem to be problemsome. Religious intolerance has taken over the society,and has brought evil,jealousy,wickedness,and hatred among the people.The christians can no longer live safe at where the Muslims are,and the Muslims are no longer safe where the christians are.Inability to tolerate one another and each other's religion has cause chaos in the society today.

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 deals with certain beliefs, doctrines and standards that one is seriously devoted to. What we see people doing most times negates what they say, in actual sense we perceive them to be religious but they are not because God at some point said the heart of a man is desperately wicked, who can know it. People are composed of their genetic makeup in combination of their environmental exposure. In the real sense religion should make things better but in this present dispensation where we have diverse and conflicting religions, the reverse is the case. Personal morals and upbringing, self discovery dictates who we are and what we do.
I don't think religion can save this world and wipe crime. There are some countries who are religion conscious but are the worst crime perpetrators. To me, religion is just an umbrella to differentiate one's beliefs and ideology and hardly stops the evil rooted in man.
Well, let's see how religion is defined... Religion - The belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods: "Ideas about the relationship between science and religion" Synonyms: Faith · Faith · Worship · Creed · Sect · Church · Cult · Denomination A special system of belief and worship: "The great religions of the world" aspiration or interest to which someone attaches the highest importance: "Consumerism is the new religion" The passion that some people have about Bitcoin can essentially be described as the last definition under religion...
Almost 90% of Our way of life is being influenced by relation, the way we live ,speak ,dress ,what we eat ,who we interact with and how we treat others.
I Strongly believe that our society is been controlled by our religion and believe, that why there have been increase in terrorism and many failed marriage and economical inbalance.

Don't get me wrong, I think that religious values in general, such as helping the poor, sharing is caring, love those you are with, etc., good things, it's just those in charge who have abused the power they have been given. My point is that believing in God is something that everyone should decide for themselves, from within. It's not about showing others how religious you are by going to church. It's a very personal thing that you don't need to talk about because our world is full of different views that need to coexist.
Because not all people believe in religion and it's rules/commandments well in fact those non-believers often tend to do crimes.
So everyone who is following a religion doesn't commit any crime? Its an unacceptable statement and you should get back.People who are in the powers of religion even committing crimes and many uses their religion as a mask to cover up and hide under group of people, anyone can be good or bad and religion is not a barrier to it.
When religion is not influential in a society or had ceased to be, the state inherits the entire burden of public morality, crime and intolerance. It then must use punishment and police. Yet this is unsuccessful as mortality, integrity and self respect not already inherent in the individual, cannot be enforced with any great success.
The real question is...
Since religion was set up by God - the Bible is one example of this - how are people going to accept religion if they won't even accept God?

You are correct! Religion is been diluted now, most of the leaders are after to change people but their major concern is to make money from worshipers , that is why it seems religion is not having any effect in the society. Religion has failed that to play its purpose in the society and things are becoming worse.
Religion exists to regulate life in the entire universe so that it runs in balance. Humans without being equipped with religion or faith and only using their reason and lust to live life then they will have no limits to know what is good and what is bad. Because humans are never satisfied with what they already have, religion is needed to control human desires so as not to cause damage.
Religion is just like how people do their things and without religion people will will continuous fall victim of decency and regulations of environmental life wont be easy to human life, we can not do without implementing law to our society any religion is like law in the that particular environment is obey without problem
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.
