Religion provides millions of the people of the world a meaning and direction to their personal and social lives. It also gives them a sacred sense something that cannot be violated for personal gains. However when values like Justice, Equality and Human freedom are taken out of the religion, it is reduced to a bundle of lifeless rituals and lend itself to exploitation. In fact religion has after been used to legitimate exploitation. This is the reason why Karl Larx the famous philosopher said “Religion is an opium for the masses.”
History reviles that emperor are churches in the European countries. Kings and Purohits in India had exploited the poor’s for their own interests. In modern times the position of India, Arab-Israel war and Iran-Iraq war can be cited as an example if the negative and cruel role played by religion.
But the original spiritual and mental experiences at the core of any religion is liberating in nature. The essence of all religions is one end same. It can be summarized in one line selfless love and service to humanity is real reason. Religion transcends all narrow barriers and exalts human spirits It inspires the human soul to struggle against all that causes physical mental and economical bondage.
It is really a great misfortune of human race that even in modernist scientific ago people are killing each other on grounds of different religions. This type of religious fundamentalism must end. When all the people of the world will be able to realize the real meaning of religion that is selfless love and service to other and needy then only true freedom and happiness will descend on this earth.
