Why do people believe in religion?

[Malsetid]

religion was made by those people who wants to profit with it. Religion divides the unity in this whole world. I only believe at our creator.

Yes, before religion was created perhaps for this purpose, but now it does not make sense anymore, as everything can be explained with the help of science, but with God it's possible to use your words and good deeds.

I agree. Sometimes, religion, with it's purpose of gathering people to it's teachings, makes a bigger separation and differences among people. Just look at how many religions we have today. And even at this time, new religions are still being started. Some of these religions differ on how they understand the bible or the koran. I mean come on. It's the same book with the same principles. So for me, being an adult, just do what you know what is right and respect other people. That's basically what will define you in the end.

Yes you're right, every religious books have only one message, love God, but what matters is, that you choose a religion that is your best way to love God, like you are doing.

But you should know, that is dangerous out there, without a protection. Even after you die, God will protect you, if you surrender to him.

the only trick is to remember him and never forget him. Jay Sri Krishna.

Amen.

But DO step up to the miracle info from God... the Bible.

There are many religious people on earth. Even the vast majority of the world believes in monotheistic religions.
And often they do not question belief systems. There are many people who have Christian, Muslim and Jewish beliefs.

Why do they still believe in religion. I can not understand why people believe in religions in the age when we can reach the information so quickly.

Because they are uneducated.

Whether you can prove if people who have a religion are not educated.

I think why people are religious
Because there are still many people in this earth can not solve the mystery of the mystery of God's creation.

This is something that is so far from the truth it's possible disgusting in nature when you go ahead and think about it. Look at it like this, the world really isn't a wonderful place and people need something to look forward to / to believe in.

People need to feel their is reason behind everything that occurs in their day to day lives which are usually rather shitty, for most people. A good amount of both uneducated people and educated people believe in religion.

Because religion is a way of life, a religion that makes us not lead a life carelessly. Religion is inherited from parents, parents guide their children according to religious rules. Religions that always make us remember sin, and make us more careful in doing something. All religions teach good things, why do people not believe in good things? All bad things come from people, not from religion.

People believe in religion because they think that religion can save them from punishment. They thought that the religion is the key to be saved, but in some beliefs, religion can't save you, it's your relationship to God that matters.

[Nikola95]

Yes, because people don't understand many things. But also because human is vulnerable, not just physically but mentally too. They beleive in god because they hope that there is someone who cares for them, and who will give them better life after this one, especially to those that have hard life. THere is lot of poor people, and they beleive in some kind of god most.

[irukandji]

Because they get taught religion from a young age, oftern

[topse]

because they can find a peace in a religion.
not just for believe but they found a reason why should they believe in a god, as a muslim we learn qur'an as our book guidance, and we found the truth there.   

[killed]

Perhaps they are trying to avoid responsibility for bad decisions. When they turn to God, they unconsciously feel support and I hope it will help them in their request. I do not believe in God and therefore do not understand these people. But their right and for me the most important thing for religion is not called for hatred.

In most cases that is true, but i do not think that is the only reason why. I think that all humans in deep have hope, and from that comes religion, and when i say religion i mean believing in higher power. Sometime when people are powerless they tend to ask God for help, and start praying. In that moment most of people find they do believe in God.

Why do they still believe in religion.

It is not because people are uneducated as what some says here. I know many well-educated and successful people that has and practice their religion. It is because when you believe, even if it is abstract; it feels like you are holding into something concrete. You hope that these/this God/s will do something great. That there is something destined for you after all.

I can not understand why people believe in religions in the age when we can reach the information so quickly.

I don't see the connection between having the information quickly and religion. The good thing about religion is similar to most other group out there only that they believe in God and other groups do not. But they have a commin denominator, when you are in religion you don't feel alone and you feel the support of other in the same belief system.

It is because religion has been a part of our lives since we are born in this world. This has been the tradition we have inherited from the past generations that is still continuosly spreading worldwide and many people say that religion unites the people with the same beliefs and way of worshiping in the God they are believing. But the sad truth is many religious people are over powering or discriminating the beliefs of other religions and they keep on pushing that what they believe must be based on what those mindful people know about the bible.

Because since childhood, parents have imposed religion of the region in which they live and only adults have realized that religion in the modern world is useless.

It's true that religion is part of our tradition and history, but it's even much more.
Many religious movements was inspired by God or revelations.
Many religious people was inspired by God or revelations to do great things for humankind.
Religion should help connect people with their creator, God and give them guidance in life of faith.
Unfortunately, it seems that today many religions lost this goal and purpose and became regular social groups, no so much spiritual any more.
It's very sad to see something liker this.
People believe in religion because they believe in God.

A bit of a weird question isn't it.
People believe because they believe...

And all in all there is more we don't know than we do know. Take Dark Matter for example. Reasonably recently discovered, however there is more of it than there is matter!

And we don't even know about gravity theory. There is a scientist who looked at gravity in atoms and molecules, and found that standard, Einstein gravity theory is wrong. His new gravity theory eliminates dark mater because of the way gravity works and doesn't work.

Standard gravity theory is the thing that predicts that dark matter exists. But this theory doesn't show how micro-gravity works between atoms and molecoues and the parts of the atoms.

The new gravity theory matches how the atoms and molecules behave, as well as how regular gravity works. It also eliminates dark matter, wich hasn't really ever been seen, but is only predicted by standard gravity theory.

Does this new theory of gravity finally explain dark matter?

The main reason why people believe in religion is because of their GOD.  Like me a am a roman catholic, I love my religion. Faith will keep your life meaningful and it feels like someone is guiding you. Some of the people trust their own religion for them they see it as light that will keep them safe from any harm or struggles they will conquer. There are many types of religion different beliefs but has only one God.

Because they need to believe in something to strive for their goals, to develop, not to commit any acts banned by their religion.

You can achieve goals without religion. And some goals are contrary to religion. For example, I want to be rich. But the Christian believes that living in luxury is a sin.
