A good religion doesn't teach proactively combating differences. I know of several religions with such principles, even strictly forbidding violence and oppression. Again, it depends on the individual; often, motivations beyond the religion's own goals even create internal turmoil. I won't argue this point; I simply live in a religiously diverse environment, where everyone lives and interacts normally and peacefully.

Religion is not a cursed but blessing, it's only the devil that makes men to see religion as a cursed because his intentions for humanity is good. Religion was meant to unite people together and draw them closer to God, but the prince of the world has turned humanity against it Creator, it's only those who don't know the plan and agenda of the devil will see religion as a curse. Religion was meant to be one and not to be divers, but the prince has made people confused about the right religion that's why people see it as a cursed. When you follow the right religion which is Christianity you will know that religion is not a curse.

My religion is HUMANITY!

This is how I have always seen it. The Muslim and Christianity bs is just a great tool use for control and propaganda. Also, I do not believe that there's a superior religion over the other or there's superior people over the others. We are simply one people. So with this, I can glady say my religion Humanity is not a curse but a blessing.

Well, To me seeing religion only as a cause of conflict also denies its positive social contribution. At a time when there was no strong law, religion taught people honesty and compassion for others. A large part of the violence or division that we see today comes from the extremist mentality or political interests of people, not because of the core teachings of religion. For example the way people of all religions come together to help each other during any major disaster or flood in our country is proof of the true unifying power of religion.  Also it does not seem right to blame religion entirely for the problems created due to human misuse or interests and call it cursed. Rather the same religion has been used to divide people on one side, but on the other hand it has also inspired millions of people to do good deeds.

You will like Atheism, they believe in science and a world without religion.

There is one called Buddhism which is a religion but they do not believe in any God while they do not also segregate other religions like Christian, Muslim and others as unbelievers. They will tell you that you can do their religion and still serve your God that you believe in.

The Muslim and Christianity bs is just a great tool use for control and propaganda.

What you have just said now is bullshit, learn how to publicly discuss about religions. You do not have to be a religious person but respectfully discuss about other religions.

If the principles of a religion is centered on peace and love then it cannot be a curse to it's believers, I don't think that religion in itself is the problem, it is some of the people that practices the religions that twists it to suit their evil ways. If there is no way that a religion encourages it's believers to steal and some of the so-called believers are twisting some doctrines to scam people you cannot blame the religion for their bad behaviors. Religion doesn't remove wickedness from this world, what it does is help to lead them to the right path and it is left for every religious person to truly practice what their religion teaches

Religion is meant to be a blessing but today there are so many religion which people believe in that so not support peace I don't need to mention them cause this is something that we already know. My religion is Christianity and we support peace, blessings and growth others may but support peace but do we say they are cursed? Maybe religion is one of the things that has kept the word backwards cause people do not agree in one thing if we are looking at religion in that perspective then religion has done more harm than good.

Humans has turned religion to what it is been used to fight each other, and that's why if anyone come up with a separate definition of what religion mean to them, they don't need to be argued, Muslims and Christians has turned religion into war, sometimes i just ask what could be the problem, is their anything to what we are seeing, but I conclude that it is just individual mindset and a little touch of brainwashing, like some persons are been brainwashed and commanded on what to do, the consequences doesn't mean anything to them because of what they are been told, religion would have been the solution to human problems but unfortunately it's adding to it because of people's beliefs.

Even in the mist of the Christianity you are talking about there is still lot of chaos among believers, people coming from different doctrinal believe and while doing this they feel their own gathering of brethren are more superior to that of others while they are all in the same umbrella of Christianity, anyone can come up to say that their own religion is the right religion and don't forget that this only can lead to severe arguments that can as well lead to war among fellows of different religions one defending that their own is the right one and others things can keep going on and on, on a general note religion is a cursed blessing, there is plenty of interpretations and misinterpretations causing confusion.

Imho that description is too vague.

This quote pretty much summarizes why people choose them:

"Religion is a formalised panic about death"

For people it's often for comfort and meaning that universe would be somehow human-centric, making them to feel to have significant purpose and meaning in it.

Spiritual leaders often tap into these needs and use them to manipulate crowds. They might even believe in the religion themselves, but when they are in position of power, they will often interpret the "holy texts" to support their own agendas as well. That can happen knowingly or unconsciously.

Religions can't be stopped, because beliefs would exist with or without them. They can be only understood so that they can be managed that they can't overtake secularism.

Religion is not a cursed blessing, rather people are misrepresenting religion. No religion encourages division among people, advises engaging in immoral wars, permits harming others of other religions, and supports disunity. Rather, every religion carries the message of peace, encourages unity, and removes the differences between people.

If people had followed their respective religions correctly, the world would not have faced any war, there would not have been any division among people, and there would not have been any disunity. Religion does not create any problem, rather people are creating problems by misusing religion. This is not a problem of religion, but a problem of people.

Religion is a human distortion of spirituality. They try to explain through dogmas a matter which is still unknown to human beings, and as consequence, they end causing harm to the humanity.

I won't say religions are completely bad, because they can be also helpful for many people in daily life when struggling with different kinds of situations, but there is also the negative aspect of it, which is mainly manipulation of the masses in an attempt to control them.

Religions try to work as a middleman between the individual and God. On the other hand, I believe there shouldn't be middlemen on this relationship.

Religion is not totally bad especially those that don't promote evil. Some religions promote violence and human suffering, which is inhumane. Those that promote peaceful coexistence and equality should be encouraged.

But religious fanaticism has caused more harm than good. The belief that a particular religion is superior to others has caused conflicts that have led to destruction of life and property. I would have to accept that some religions are indeed cursed blessings.

I am no longer a follower of a religious creed. My religion now is humanity.

Religion should be seen as a curse to humanity since we are not doing the right thing because if you see all the issues that we face in the World today, they are all pointing in one direction. People practicing these religion makes religion to speak against the other so why or how can we live in unity? This is the same reason why we have some persons fighting another tribe just to conquer and convert them to start believing what they believe, now we have Islam speaking ill about the Christians, same as Christians and if this continues I don't think we can say religion is a blessing but a curse, our mentality is one of the things that makes it look like a curse, until we change the idea then we're good to go but for now there's no change so let's see it as a curse.

[Findingnemo]

In this 21st century, yeah, that is pretty much a curse rather than a blessing. Religion is just created by a human someone like me and you and they did to civilize the people who used to be evolving from cavemen and now after 2000 years we are not even following everything they said but something that is interpreted into our own convenience and monetary benefits of a small group of people.

[programmer3666]

I see religion as a tool that influences moral obligations in the world we live in. Because truth be told, the human mind can be very possessive with negative thoughts. Without religion, things would have gotten out of hands a long time ago. So in all sense, religion is good for guiding morals and keeping people in check. But when it becomes about my religion is better than yours, that's when it becomes a problem. It's a blessing when used right and a curse when abused.

As much as I know, no religion is cursed but all blessed neither would I justify which of the religion is best or the right practice but from what I believe in my own religious belief, judgement is if God and not for man.
And if not by the mercy of God, we are either not worthy of his praises and his abundance blessings because we are all sinners but praise for he is a merciful God.

Perhaps it is learnt that lot of religion believers don't practice or live by their religion ethics with some being sentimental and criticising others religions.
Ethically some different religious worshipers will tell you that no matter the different religions, it is still one God which is the Almighty God the creator of all creations that we serve. They can even discriminate the practice of their fellow religious worshipers who tends to go out of their actual doctrines.

So religion is a blessing to them that believes in the mysterious wonders and divine intervention of their creator.

It weakens my heart seeing the way most take relegious activities,  from unset I am sure relegion was established to help direct the affairs of people according to there believe but all changed when it was know longer practiced with transpiracy the way it was meant to be. Although even at this point i won't say its a cursed blessing because it is still performing its functions the same way it is meant to be but only become a problem to those that are not faithful and committed to what they believe
