Should religion be abolished?

No--look what happened when people tried to outlaw religion--followers cling onto it even more... Not a good idea; it will make you enemies that you don't need.

Even if religion should be eliminated, doing so is impossible.

How can religion be used to bridge the gap existing among communities in today's context?

Religion does prove useful at times in maintaining group cohesion and discipline, but rarely assists in bridging gaps between or among communities. Instead, religion has a powerful tendency to divide. Even when two communities adopt the same religion, that religion sooner or later splits, creating new divisions, as we see between communities that follow Shia Islam and Sunni Islam, or Catholic and Protestant Christianity.The one way religion can sometimes be used, although in practice this is rarely tried, is to appeal to the common message of all religion, for peace and goodwill.
