How can religion be a valuable part of life?

Answer 1

'Changing' is the only one 'never changing' concept in this creation. So things happen so systematically according to natural law but not according to our expectations. We expect that what we need sometimes, what we like sometimes. All such expectations are not duly fulfilled. In such a situation we gradually seek some one else who has more intelligence and more power with which he can fulfill our needs and wishes. So we start believing in some omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent entity. That is named as God. The style of living with good morals and disciplines which would certainly pave a path to a successful life in this material world is preached by every religion. So people following religions feel secured in this uncertain world and can keep their emotions under good control in the name of God that they believe. Thus religion becomes a valuable part of life.
