unlike astronomy and astrology are considered to be like a cousins, God and religion are often thought to be like real brothers. However in either case both of these are far from being sharing any common factor. I decided to write about religion and God from what I have learned by observing the world/people around me. My opinion might not be mature enough or may be totally wrong but if you think you got better idea what a religion is or what God has to do with religion I would like to know, you can write down below if you would also like to share your opinion with everyone else who may also read this article.
Have you ever thought what it is to be human, the only species on the planet earth that is considered to have achieved intelligence, lives in society. But so far , the people living in the society has shaped the world around in certain way that all we are left to see whats going around is war, hatred. It is true that their is always a fight over the border issues what part of land belongs to who ...
But in real if we open up and look around with wider scope most of the wars are not on border issues but among different religions. I am in no way here to point that this or that religion is a scam/ fraud. I have figured out, that religion cannot exist without worshiping some one supreme being, in our case, its our God, we humans almost everyone worship or pray to God, God is supposed to bring peace among all living beings and so that everyone can live in this peaceful and happiness, in the sea of tranquility. God does not tell us to hate, or keep vengeance or take revenge all that God can wish for its creation is to live in peace and harmony.
One thing that cannot happen is religion cannot exist without the presence of God, but God can exist without any religion to ever exist. infact it would be easier if we say just one religion.
So who created religion, didn't we ? aren't we going to temples, church or Gurdwara worshiping God. Time back i surveyed to see what people has got to say on one of the question I asked, It was "Can you believe in God without following any religion" ? everyone said "Yes they can" except their was only one who said no.
but the above survey I am talking about isn't all the people voted however the majority said yes but if everyone gets chance to vote/voice their opinion the result could be different.
Religion in India: Well, I am an Indian, as I am born here and I have lived here since my birth except for 2 years of my life I lived in Canada. Living in Canada I came to see and realize how wealth that nation is , how beautiful and scenic the place is, and how culture of the whole world meet at one place. Canada is considered to be the happiest nation in the world. And now look at India, we Indians have always pray more to God made big statues of our Gods like Lord Ganesha, Krishna, Hanuman, Shiv ji ... and we(Indians) say as I hear it often that we worship to God with our true heart. and still take a look around yourself. Their is no peace in our country. Looks like God isn't happy what we Indians are doing.More over India has more preachers like sants, babas to show the right path to the ignorant public and still their are heinous crimes happening in our country. Even after so many prayers and so true devotees India is a nation that has no peace. we are diverse but divided by small states who cannot settle, almost every state has got its own God to worship and every city has also got its own sant or baba to listen to. Are we Indians so stupid that we need an uneducated person to show us the right path(that people start following these sant babas)? Recently, A God's preacher appeared in public with the name Nirmal baba, he has been taking huge amount of money from ignorant people in the name of God, lately he was exposed.
Well, their is one problem with Indians, we start following others blindly and join the hoard. And it is this blind faith that has led our nation to misery(I dont really keep obsession with nationalism) so I would say misery of people.
So many people has been victims fraud of these fake babas,
to name a few like Nityananda Swami, Nihang Teja Singh.
Their is always a war of religious belief and victim becomes a person who ends up giving his life.
Recently, Some one made a film on Anti Islam that lead to violence outbreak in Asia, so many people died. All I know about it is said some christians made the film to disgrace prophet mohammed, but what is truth even I dont know.
Few months back violence broke out in India over firing on Sant Niranjan Dass on Vienna. So many people died in this violence.
so the question that strikes my mind do we really have to follow a religion to believe in God? what have you got to say about this.what are your opinions. I think we don't have to, but we must not hurt someones feeling by saying something offending.
I have not written this article anti religion, but it shows the real picture how religion has now become a puppet of scammers/fraudulent people to cheat. I am not sure but I guess India is the only country with so many temples , churches and mosques but still their is not peace and instead people are corrupt and making ways of filling their pockets.

| Every time I see some educated person following or encouraging people to follow sant, babas or go to religious places and donate wealth , I think India might be the only | |
country of educated illiterates. I can't write anymore, I would leave you with some links to books below written by prominent authors.
