Religion - Most Misunderstood Concept

By Arvind Katoch

Religions are being made on this world for helping a man in attaining godhood. At different locations and under the direction of different philosophers or Gurus, we all accepted the different paths for realization of God. We gave different names to these paths and in this way different religion of the world came in front of us. Initially, people were living in small geographical locations and independent of each others, therefore these all religions flourished in this world.

Today, we all are living in a mixed world where people from different religions are coexisting with each other. However, in this coexistence, we are also facing religious intolerance for the others. Many followers of the respective religions are busy in creating atmosphere of fear and hate among the peoples of other religions. People from all the religions are responsible in this matter. Today we all have become more near to our religions but away from the God and its teachings.

Racism, suicide bombings, terrorist acts, killing of innocent people on the name of religions are some of the ugliest approaches taking by religious fanatics which are creating problems for the common followers of the God. Question of superiority of religions never arise because religions are not more than just path of attaining God and nothing else. If we go on fighting on the names of religions and killing innocent peoples then we are really disobeying the real God which is much ahead and more powerful than any religion.
