It is time to be out
of religions
This chart was available in the Wikipedia to show the division of the population of the world according to their
beliefs at the time of uploading this blog. Percentages may be changing day by day.
What is the meaning of this chart? Does it mean that you are happy
because you are part of such and such religions, or does it guarantee that you have a
golden seat reserved in heaven after your death?
No. It just means that you
are not free. You don’t have the freedom to live a peaceful life here on earth without being part of any of these religions.
1. Peace exists when there is proper freedom and freedom exists when there are no
strings attached to it. If you think that your dog need to be chained in order
to keep it in control or to keep other people safe from your animal, then it is
okay to have a small string attached to the dog. But for our general
understanding nobody put a 50kg chain on a 10kg sweet dog!
A large part of the humanity is experiencing this
situation at this moment. A heavy load of strings by various religions are put on
soft, caring, loving, kind and compassionate human beings. And asking them to
move on with their life. And if they succeed, at the end, they will get a
cookie, a cookie of imaginary eternal life! Is your life worth only for a
cookie? Then you are making a huge mistake or you are having a slavish
mentality and you are happy with it.
There are 31.5% of the world
population believe in Christianity and 23.3% believe in Islam. And a big group
of world population believes in various other religions. What is in these
percentages? Does it mean anything to anyone? Does it make any god more
powerful than the other to save the entire humanity? No. Do you think that you
can make any change in the modern world if you believe in any of these
religions? In reality not. In the modern world religion is just a brain washed
business model that successfully run with an age-old documentation, tradition
and rituals which require no updates because of the uncertainty of the life
after death.
2. Human gene is evolved to a certain stage
that it looks for survival, pleasure and happiness. Therefore, it will cling on
to anything that promises an afterlife with never ending pleasure and happiness! In reality, afterlife is a byproduct of
survival, even to survive after the death. There is no love, care, kindness and
compassion in life after death. If it
exists, it is not because you believed in any religion, but because of your
ability you achieved by living a good life, caring for others, with love,
kindness and compassion. No religion can claim it as their merit if a person if good. The care,
love, kindness and compassion that religions preach is always attached with a
string to a god that is external. It is time to break those strings to find the
true who you are.
Find the goodness within you, find
the god within you, find the divine within you. And when every human being is
able to achieve that, the result is peace.
And peace can never come into existence unless and until the religions
cease to exist. No religion is capable
of practicing their belief in this world without the promise of an afterlife. Because
afterlife itself is an unrealized imagination of brainwashed religions. That is the reason they are incapable of bringing peace into the real world.
3. No
religion will be able to send people into the space and to different planets
with their beliefs. It will happen only by the advancement of science and
technology. So it is a waste of energy and money if you want to preserve
religion and protect its gods in this modern world because you are promised an
eternal life.
If the science can prove and
convince what is there after the death of a person, people will start believing
in it. And the religions will cease to exist. Unfortunately, religions jumped into execute that business of making
people believe in uncertainties, from a very early stage of human development, it will take time
to think differently. And when science take over that task with proofs and evidences the belief systems will have no prevalence.
And science is slowly taking its roots.
There was a time when all the natural
calamities are considered to be a curse from gods of different religions. But in
the modern world, when people get to know more about the nature, universe and
its functioning they start to understand that it is not a curse from god but
rather it is part of the universal happenings. There is no god that sits in the
sky and throw meteorites to the earth to destroy earth and the living beings in
it. It is the universal motion that makes it happen. And we already know a
little bit how all these things are happening in the universe. We just needed
to know more about this universal motion that causes all these things to happen
in the course of time.
We will be faster in thinking and doing better to know
more about the universe if only we get out of the brainwashed religious
teachings. Take religions as a hobby, just like going for a walk for exercise,
or take it as a reading material, just like a novel that gives you some pleasure
and relaxation. Don’t take it as part of your life!
4. Let us think out of the box.
According to the above chart 68.5% (100-31.5=68.5) of the world population is
not believing in Christianity and they are not following any rituals of Christianity.
In the same way 76.8% (100-23.2=76.8) of the world population are non-believers
in the eyes of Islam. And 85% (100-15=85) of the world population simply don’t
have anything to do with Hinduism. If that is the case with these three major
religions in the world what about all the other religions? That is pointing
towards the fact that from the view of any religions, major part of the world
population are non-believers and they still live and die just like any of the believers, may be in a better state of mind.
If we talk
about belief, even the major religions are a minority compared to the world
population and they are a failure. That is to say, if you are a believer in
Christianity and you think Christian religion is everything for your life,
68.5% of the world population has nothing to do with Christianity and still
their life is just as normal as others and they also die just like any other human
person. And there are thousands of people in that 68.5% world population who
are creative people, artists, singers, writers, scientists etc. And they just
believe in their innate talents. And there are 16.3% of the world population that
don’t believe in any religion and still they live and die without having any
real troubles in their life, other than the troubles created by believers
of other religions. There are also religions with a few thousand members in it.
And they just ignore all the other major religions and still their life is fine
and they also die just as any other human beings here on earth.
5. So my question is: then what is the
use of having all these religions that fight for their beliefs and create chaos
in the world. And what is the use of creating this chaos for the people who
live here peacefully. The trouble makers live in this world and die after a
while, in reality they achieved nothing, and none of them returned to life after
their death to tell us that what they fought for was worth. Belief is like an
atomic chain reaction, it goes on exploding, leaving so much of damage. But
the effect gets less and less in the course of time. But when the goodness of
humanity saw the damage of atomic reactions, made a decision not to use it anymore for destruction.
And that was for the good of the
humanity. Unfortunately, that didn’t
happen with religions.
The same kind of atomic reactions are happening with many religions even today in this advanced and developed society. Brainwashed people brainwashes others and it still continues
to spread and create more and more damages to the humanity. But as we see, the
effect is getting less and less, but the damage it created will continue for a
while. And the victims of those damages will survive in the world for a short
while. But it is not going to be that long that we see a new light in the
world.
The humanity of goodness that will emerge from the ruins of these
damages. The goodness of humanity is getting fed up with all religions. A good
person remains good, and in every person, there is some goodness. It is time to
cherish that basic goodness of each and every person and create a world full
with people of goodness.
Let the people live by themselves
with a nice and beautiful social system with love and care for each other which
is the basis of human life.
So why not we make a change in the world by
thinking out of the box of belief systems based on religions. All the religions
in the world failed one way or other to spread the love, kindness and
compassion. It is time to get out of this box of belief systems and trust in
goodness of the humanity. The “goodness” is innate to the genes of every living
organism with the exception of human beings having much more, because, as we
understand, they are “intelligently good”.
In short, I would say, it is time
to get out of the darkness of religions and find light in yourself. It is time
to get out of the untruth of the religions to the truth of yourself. It is time
to get out of the dead beliefs of religions and to see the beauty of your own
life and the people around.
