Religion is not a form of explanation but a place to hide from having to face the task of finding the explanations.
religion is an explanation for all the unnatural things in our world. beside the fact that people need something larger then them to hold on to something they can trust to save them. something higher then us
Both religion and science stem from the need of explanation how human come to exist and how the world around us work or created.
In order for us to be able to explain a topic we need more information. Such as the topic you need explained to you.
Overall it can help us understand how other religions work and what their faith is based on, why they view their religion as true, how it affects the way they live, and so on. Similar to a cultural exchange. However, people need to look at other religions not as a lie or purposly misleading, or a distraction from the "one true faith" but instead as an attempt by primitive man to explain the world they live in.
Yes we need religion. Most people in the world are being forced into thinking all that science crap. We need to know that God is the one who gave us life, who created us. And we need to worship him for that. Anybody who does not, will be punished along with satan.
Since ancient times, people have felt the need to explain the beginning of the world. The development of religion came about in part to provide satisfying explanations. Then people needed to have others believe that their God or gods were the real creator of the universe, since that validates their God as true or as the most powerful in the universe. Scientists feel the need to explain the beginning of the universe because that is what science does. Every question that remains unanswered is a challenge for some scientist who will try to answer it. Often, non-scientists benefit from the technology that is developed as a consequence of pure science.
Science and religion both seek to explain the world around us, but they operate in different ways. Science uses evidence and experimentation to understand the natural world, while religion often involves faith and belief in the supernatural. Some people find that science and religion can complement each other, while others see them as fundamentally incompatible. Ultimately, how they are related depends on individual perspectives and interpretations.
When it comes to religion it is another subject. In the United States your opinion is "respected" as in one of the first written declarations, known as The Bill Rights, which awfully relates to The Ten Commandments. In this world we all need an excuse, an excuse to seggregate and divide. Some of us want to be superior then others. In some cases religion is what divides us, Christians, Jews, Buddhist anything even from one religion we divide! As in roman Catholics. There is no reason why it is important but what we truly believe, and that is why "religion" is taken so important, as in to our "crazy world."
mathematics, just like all of the sciences is the human way of making sense of the world around us. we, as a species, feel the need to categorize and explain everything. math exists in nature, because we invented math to explain the wonder that is nature.
They teach us that cartoons don't explain the world around us
besides teacing God's words religion teaches us the unification of the whole world.Besides it shows us the path to live happy life...
There is no set religion for the US you can be whatever you want to be.
