This is good thought op, I really appreciate your thought. We should practice our religion cause most of religion, we are following, advise us for good work, help people, work together, stand in One's side when they are in problem and live peacefully. But some people won't follow their religion at all. They are just in, that's all but do whatever they want. Besides there are many people who don't believe any religion. But the necessary thing is, we should be a good human being. Change yourself, world will be changed too
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
Religious precepts and customs teach people true morality. If you don't apply this right religious knowledge properly then you don't care about religion. The scope of this knowledge is thoroughly explained in every walk of life, starting from how to treat others well. So religious discipline consists in establishing you as a righteous person and you will not approach crime. So you should start your life journey by starting religious education from childhood. If you haven't got it yourself, start now and teach your child too. Only if you start from your family and encourage your surroundings, only then will the crime tendency from the society be reduced and it is possible to establish a beautiful society.

It is funny. Because this topic actually makes me think of something which is kind of common here in my country.
Usually, people who commit crimes or are prone to do so try to keep a façade of being religious or have turned into born again Christians while in prison or after facing some consequences due to their actions.
It is specially common in the east of the country.
One finds people who previously committed crimes completely dressed up, using ties and holding a Bible when walking around, but people still do not trust them. It is a tactic used by some petty criminals for people to get off guard in their presence so they can continue to commit crimes without getting caught.
Those crimes usually do not involve the use of fire arms, but still, there have been extraordinary cases or crimes committed by those who were regarded as the most religious people of a community.
I guess I do not need to point out the cases of sexual abuse, though.

I think people who truly practice the religion, won't include themselves in any crime for some entertainment. But most of people in our society are greedy. They love power, money, good food, good clothes, good life to lead and for self satisfaction, they don't rethink about committed any crime. Religion can't stop them cause religion are just a name for them and i believe, they never try to know properly about their religion or greediness in their heart changed them and they have given it more priority to committeed crime.

Christian, Judaism and Islam believe that they are calling or serving one God but they will never allow Islam to marry Christian, and Christian will never allow their children to marry or relate to Judaism, and those are the things affecting our religion today causing killing and crimes everywhere.Islamic marriage rules allow intermarriage with non-Muslims, but the bride/groom must believe in one God, eg Christianity. Christians believe in God. So Islam allows a Christian to marry.
We all belong to religion but very few people follow the principles of religion. Only one thing is responsible for all the murders, fights, wars and hatreds in the world and that is greed. Due to greed, brothers are killed, friends become enemies and even the wars of one country with another are responsible for this greed of people. Greed is of various types, greed for money, greed for power and greed for wealth etc. Religion never supports greed. But people are only greedy.
Do you not know the heart of man is full of greed. The poor beg but not enough, many turned to scammers. Some rich people are full of greed, and do not think of second alternative than to betray their working partner. Although what is wrong is wrong, but the world is not balance. Religion help to an extent, because if not religion, people will be worse than this. The world is pleasurable for people that have enough to enjoy, and many saying 'the spirit is willing, but the flesh is week'.
All religions teach good things and prevent all forms of evil, but this is not done by humans due to a lack of faith in humans and a very minimal level of understanding of religion, thus creating shortcuts to obtain wealth through brutal methods, such as robbery. , and kill, even though it is only momentary satisfaction without thinking about the effects that will occur. So over time it becomes a bad habit. If you have faith within yourself and continue to hone your spiritual knowledge then that will not happen, and this religion is a way to cleanse our soul and body. When we have already sinned, there is still a way to cleanse the soul, namely by repenting and not repeating the act again.

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.
Yes, but the bad leaders will have these days are no longer do the right thing their forefathers was doing for the betterment of their religion in the society than to do what will benefit them and their entire family. Religion is to make people to love themselves, and do things that will make them know that they are one in the religion but some group of people that is benefiting from crimes and other negative things in the society, we never allow things like that to reign among the people in the society because their voices will no longer be heard anymore.
Christian, Judaism and Islam believe that they are calling or serving one God but they will never allow Islam to marry Christian, and Christian will never allow their children to marry or relate to Judaism, and those are the things affecting our religion today causing killing and crimes everywhere.

Everyone practices religion, but not everyone sticks to the rules. Many individuals do strange things out of their minds, forgetting that religion exists. Their minds have been closed, and they are unconcerned about anything religious. We always claim that the world has come to an end because people no longer follow religion, while some individuals will take someone's life simply to make themselves happy or to get money. Though it is because of religion that we still have peace of mind in some societies, when someone plans to do evil, they will remember religion, whereas others will not, prefer to get whatever they want by all possible means.
It is not everyone of us who is going in the right path right now, there is no more good love, we plan evil against each other, a lot of things are happening that are not supposed to, I keep wondering if this is the end of the world or if it is due to the hard economy. I think that at the end of the day, the reason we have it is that the hard economy is taking us in the wrong direction. Religion will be very hard for us as humans to complete, we can never be in the same direction because of our different thoughts.
I think that religion is actually reducing the rate of crimes, and we may not be able to tell this because we haven’t lived the world without religion. However, imagine if people didn’t have religion to hinder them from committing various crimes and sins? There are certain things we all could have done but we know it won’t be good by God so we don’t do them. That’s all because of religion.
The mean reason for religion being introduced into society was for the regulation of the activities of Man to see how human activities and their excess can be contained and now human society has evolved and because of the economic hardship all over the world religion has little or no effect on man now because with what I see is man is now back to that hobbisians state where life is brutish nasty and shot because men will do anything just to survive now

Religion as a practice just as you have said does not completely eradicate self and one's nature/attributes. The practice of true religion, just helps to put these attributes under a check. Unfortunately, many do not practice true religion and their true nature that has been set either genetically or environmentally induced, has not been put under check and they only just hide under the the cover of being religious.This is very clear as the answer speak volume most they way I perceive the question, as long as human being is concerned where what is inside the heart is hidden it's very deficult for any religion to completely cut off crime but can only minimize the rate at which they would have occur through sound teaching and this could only be possible to those who 65% is to practice the true relijion.
Secondly religion don't have any parameters set to measure in how they can cut off crime because it's when you have such parameters that you will check and balance to know if your able to do or not, though people may say that sound religion has the power to cut down crime I don't disagree but can't eliminate it completely based on the human heart difference and the mind construction can't be read by the face many wear religion as cloth and are ready to dropped it at any given time to perpetrate crime.
Just as have said earlier if religion has parameters it's this that will make them know that from so number to next number is crime free and from there they will know what is left to tackle there by achieve it but since no parameters is not possible.

Every religion teaches us morality. Every religion has a message of peace and reconciliation. If one follows his own religion perfectly I think he cannot indulge in any crime. Because no religion supports crime. Religion always shows people the way to peace. But as the days go by, people's faith in religion is rising. For which people are going astray and engaging themselves in various crimes. Crime and corruption trends are increasing day by day in almost every country. Nothing seems to be able to eliminate them.

Another thing that must be taken into account is that not everyone practices religion. Even if religion has a good impact on some people, it may not influence others. So, while religion may have a good influence on certain people, it is unlikely to lead to a decrease in crime overall. It's also important to note that religion isn't the sole element influencing people's behaviour. Other factors, such as financial status, education, and upbringing, can also influence outcomes. So it is not as simple as claiming that religion would lower crime. In contrast, if we are raised in a way that encourages selfishness and aggression, we are more likely to participate in illegal activity.
A religious man is not a righteous man.
Religion is believed to have the ability to influence the way people behave, but it seems that Religion has failed by not leaving upto expectations. Instead religious people has left the purpose of Religion. They are now in a serious war with one another, fighting on which religion will dominate the earth.
I don't want religion but I want morality and Co existence of humans among other creatures.

People understand how to act towards other people. It's natural. It goes something like Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. What formal religion is for is to show people what they would like others to do to them, so that they can do these things to other people.
But the main thing of the Christian formal religion is to remind people about God, and to show them Jesus, Who will raise them from the dead on the last day.

^^^ The Taliban isn't Christian, is it?
A paranoid schizophrenic is not a catatonic schizophrenic, isn't it?
As for Taliban and Christian cults, well, the adherents are just mentally ill, so I am not sure there is much difference
between them.
They all share the same psychopathic manuals, a.k.a. scriptures.
Torah->Talmud->Bible->Quran->Book of Mormon-> ...
All the same BS.
Satan doesn't care which religion. As long as he can get people to deny God, and especially Jesus, their Savior.
Among the best Satan religions are atheism and agnosticism. Islam has a better chance at saving someone, because the Koran mentions Jesus.
