Religion divides humanity. Followers of religious doctrine believe that their chosen deity and religious culture is better than the next one....

Can someone argue that religion does not divide humanity?

Religion therefore is counterproductive in reaching the full potential of a harmonious world society. A sustainable society.

people divide humanity.
religion is jsut one of the ways we separate ourselves from eachother

the limit and boundaries are in our minds.

set our minds free and we will know that we are all connected and free.

In and of itself, religion does not divide people that much.

What divides us is the interpretation of religious doctrine and teachings. One group sees it this way, another that way and since they BOTH think they're correct the fighting begins.

Personally, I think sometimes that a world without religion would be a more peaceful place.

More atrocities have been committed in the name of religion than for any other reason.

Human beings use religion if they believe in it to divide.

Some human beings who are religious use it to divide.
Some human beings who are non-religious do he same thing.

we might fight over which car is the right car

my car is the only car to take me to paradise.. no my car is..
no your car is the right make but not the right color..
you have the right make and color but the rims are not right
you have the right make , right color , right rims, but you dont have a sun roof ,

pretty much how we fight over differnent religion, sects denominations ect.
its all the same babel.

He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.
