Is religion still important in this modern world?

Answer 1

The significant importance of religion is the potential to promotion integrity and righteousness.

Religion can be compared to food. Religion is food for the soul. The true value of food is measured by the quality and quantity of nutrients it contains. The nutritional value of religion is the authentic concepts of piety, harmony, forbearance and righteousness, which fill the soul with spirituality. Religion has a very powerful influence in economics and politics.

Religion can be a very effective and rewarding tool in the hands of shrewd individuals. It can be used to enrich oneself financially or spiritually. It can also be used to manipulate and control others for good or evil ends.

Religion is a social tool to inculcate those habits in individuals which help to sustain and nurture any society.

To teach moral virtues that are good practices for living a successful life.

Religion and the truth of religion are two completely different things. Religion is important because it provides many with rules for living based on fear and the threat of eternal damnation.. The law also provides these guidelines. Non-religious people have the same moral compass but not based on eternal damnation.

Answer 2

Technically speaking that is a yes and no answer. Society does not typically require a religion in order to function but just as well, religion gives moral values to people who hold that faith. If the world were an honest place then the need for religion would not be necessary since there would be no need for "faith" the blind, unwavering devotion to your deity. Speaking and sharing your life with others who share the same beliefs is a great way to live but remember there are all sorts of people in the world who are nice just by being who they are.

Answer 3

There is no doubt that religion is still important, because the majority of the world's population has religious beliefs of some kind, and religious organizations and religious leaders exert considerable influence over the members of their religion. It has certainly been argued by some writers such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and others, that religion no longer serves a useful purpose in our world, an assertion which is highly debatable, but even if that is true, religion remains important as long as there are many religious people in the world. It influences world events. The ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict, for example, is largely driven by the conflict between Judaism and Islam.

Answer 4

Some religions have great influences on the modern societies, for example: Islam takes a somehow moderate stance between capitalism and communism, therefore it's noticed that the Muslim countries don't suffer debt crisis like the capitalist regimes nor the stagnations seen in communism.

Answer 5

Religion connects you to the majority of mankind, past and present. No ancient society ever existed that did not believe in the supernatural. Those who dismiss belief may be compared to an astronaut floating away from the lifeline.

Also:

1) Religion may assist you in overcoming peer pressure.

3) Religion may provide you with a whole additional layer of education.
