Chiristians use bread and wine in their religion, if you are christened as a christian it is usually protocall to turn up for a consecutive three Sundays afterwards and line up to drink a sip of wine and a piece of stale bread. This symbolises that you are accepting God's food and that a piece of Jesus is rested upon you. The wine symbolises Jesus' blood and the bread symbolises his body.

The western religion was spread primarily through the use of violence, terrorism and persecution. It was also cloaked with eastern beliefs that threatened to destabilize its social and political infrastructure. The new camouflaged religion was then effectively used to manipulate the social and political belief/culture so that the elite imperialists would acquire their desired financial rewards.
Advantages:- Religion gives strengthIn difficult times, it is convenient to be able to turn to something or someone- God is always at hand, and your friendIt can be very comforting to be accompanied by someone that is always there (for he is in your head), who is your friend, and who you can talk to- God is a great metaphor for 'good'It is nice to have something at hand that stands for 'good', and to what you can relate to in daily life- Religion brings togetherReligion brings people together. Not only metaphorically speaking, but physical at well (in church). That is good; so they can stand together.- Rules bring some kind of structureMost religions have rules, and they bring structure in people's lives, especially the not very well educated people. 'You shall not steal' is very clear.- Religion can change peopleIf people have been leading a 'bad' life, religion can help them change for the better.- Religions give answers to intriguing and difficult questionsExamples: where do we come from / who created mankind, what is the purpose of life, is there life after death, does god existDisadvantages- Rules don't match up with feelingsThis can be really very destructive; it destroys lives of people. For instance, think about the hundreds of thousands of homosexuals, who can not live the life they would like, because of the rules of some kind of religion- 'Beliefs' don't match realitySome religions deny important and well proven pieces of science, for instance the dinosaurs.- Strict following of principles can stand in the way of common sense- Religions separateAs religions are able to bring people together, it can create a huge gap between them - of different religions. For they all 'believe', but they still see only the differences, and not the similarities.- Co-responsibility for (bad) governmentIf you supported in anyway the government of a religion, you are responsible for their actions (be it a tiny bit). If you only sympathy with the religion, many will treat you as if you are responsible for the actions of the government of the religion.

No offence is meant, but it seems almost impossible that someone would need to ask this question. Jews are not required by their faith to abstain from alcohol, and virtually every world culture has one or more forms of bread that they enjoy. So yes, Jews use bread and wine.Answer:The question was posed too vaguely; and the asker likely meant to ask "Do the Jews use bread and wine in a religious context."The answer is that we use wine and bread as the basic ingredients in our Sabbath and festival meals (all other foods in such meals are optional).

Well to be honest religions never compete. Stupid people usually use religion as a reason to compete and argue. So rather than asking about religions which "compete", I think it would be more useful to ask who are the people who use religion as an excuse to "compete". Faiyaz P.S.

the use of the bread and wine as the Eucharist is because when Jesus instituted the sacrament at the Last Supper, He used the bread and wine as it was a Passover meal or Seder that Christ and his disciples celebrated. Jesus also referred Himself as the Bread of life in the sixth chapter in the Gospel of John. both unleavened bread and wine are common elements of the Passover Seder. whenever bread and wine are shown together in Christian art, it is the portrayal of the Eucharist. Also from the Catholic point of view, the Eucharist is not symbolic, at all. the Eucharist is the truly actual Body and Blood of Christ; it does not symbolize Him or represent Him; the Eucharist is Him.
