I believe Religion as a Complete Way of Life in our modern era is a very ineffective approach to the well being of humanity?

By 'Religion as a Complete Way of Life' I meant one's religion is imperative in every aspects of one's life without exception including politics, social, economics, legal, etc. Currently the only religion that is claiming for this is Islam.

Do you agree/disagree?

In most cases, those who follow, may agree with it, and those who don't follow may not agree with it.

Looks like you are looking into Islam too much. I think you may end up accepting it someday.

In my personal opinion, Islam provides sufficient amount of guidance to successfully lead a peaceful and prosperous life in harmony.

Whether someone follows Islam in the range of 0.000000000000000001% to the 99.9999999999999% is his/her own choice and ability within the situation he has been placed in.

You can study Quran and Seerah in as much depth as you can to seek more and more guidance, and practically bring it in your life.

And on the other hand, some scholars opine that instead of the entire Quran, if only Surah (chapter) 103, which is one of the shortest chapter in the Quran, had been revealed, it would have been sufficient to guide the entire humanity to eternal success.

DISAGREE! Religion is more likely to ruin your life rather than enhance it!

That's your opinion based on using your intelligence, research and experiences.
You are entitled to voice your opinion, just like all of us do, but obviously not everyone will agree with everyone on everything.

HOW true...I won't say anymore, "I don't eat bottom feeders."
I don't open my mouth...not that anyone started a fight or anything.
Just not cool.
