Necessity of Religion

[rifman]

Is religion necessary in order to be a good person?

 

[Edulady]

Not really. You will do good when you want to do good and vice versa. No religion will stop you from being the kind of person you want to be.

Yes. That is of course true, and I think it is a personal choice.

No there are atheist who are nice and you can find a religious person who is bad and a very good pretender.

There is no need but for me its good as religion makes me feel good, strong and a good person and without religion I may not be a good person but this does not apply to everyone

You are very correct about that because I have a friend who is an atheist and he is in Holland that I actually enjoy his company and discussion all the time.

No a good person is a good person it had nothing to do with religious.one Just determined to be good.

 

[Shavkat]

I don't think so. It is a misnomer that being religious is always good. There are some false prophets out there that they do not do what they preach.

Religion divides the world and at times can start a war. One shoul dbe spiritual and lead a good life.

If you are a true believer, religion can help you to be a better person. But I have also seen a lot of bad people who claim that they are believer of some religions.

Religion is all, without religion human are nothing. Just think, one religion starts in one corner of the world while other started from other corner. No Aeroplane no internet undiscovered land and the teaching is almost same. Heaven and Hell, saint and evil. Do right, support people, think about others. There is world after this world and we have to give answers of questions.So it's better to accept the reality and facts. For your own benefit for your own eternal life.
Religion is not saying to jump in river, or not to eat food and don't drink juices. But religion is saying to support the poor, to help Mankind to be cooperative with others. Remain neat and clean do your job with honesty.

Some people are being put in check by their religion. I know that some people would have been literal monsters if they were not religious.

You do not need religion to become good or do good but if you are religious, you are also likely to be good

The part where you are likely to do good is why societies still value religion. So many people would have been had but for religion.
