Religion.

Religion is belief in Divine Powers. Religion is to follow sacred rites and ceremony. Religion is obedience to God. Religion is our life bound by principles as laid down in Sacred Texts. Religion is belief concerning cause and effect about Nature and Universe and governs a moral code to follow.
There are five major religion in the world of Seven Billion.
1.Christianity with followers of 220 crores lays down Ten Commandments as Rules of Behaviour that God expects of them.
2.Muslim religion with 165 crores followers lays down in Quran there is no God but the Allah only and that Mohmaad is the messanger of Allah to perform the prayers, to pay zakat to fast in Ramadan and one must make pilgrimage to holy center of worship.
3.Hindu religion with followers a hundred crores, lays down threefold path of Gyan Karma and Bhakti for ultimate realization of God.
4.Buddhism with followers of 80 crores asks to observe and analyse everything and anything and when it agrees with reason and is good for one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
5.Sikh means to seek or to learn. Sikhism with followers three crores builds close relationship to God by adhering to the guidelines as laid down in the holy Grinth Sahib.
If one is born in Vatican, he would hold Christian beliefs. If one is born in Saudi Arabia, he would hold Muslim beliefs. If one is born in India he would hold Hindu beliefs. If one is born in Tibet he would hold Buddhist beliefs. If one is born in Punjab he would hold Sikh beliefs.
Just as the Country needs one language spoken through out the country, Similarly the Country needs one religion through out the country. A common religion at a common place for everybody and everybody common at one place will go a long way to improve our outlook on the purpose of life.
Religion is exploited to dupe and deceive the people since we do not have means for understanding the Ultimate. It is easy to convince people of the powers of God than powers of Men because of our ignorance of the nature of God makes anything possible for them to misguide us. They tell the tallest stories about the powers and ability of God in the field of everything in life. They explain the purpose of God’s will on the basis of common day to day events and exploit millions of our blind followers.
