Is religion important in people's lives?

 

Hello everyone, in this blog I will write about religion and my personal thoughts about this deep topic. Do I think religion is important in people's lives? Honestly, I do not belong to or identify with any religion (at least the best known in our country), however I believe that there is some "higher" energy in some plane of the universe. And it seems to me that for human beings this need to believe something or have faith is very important, therefore in my opinion religion is important in people's lives in order to satisfy that need to believe in something higher. I have been able to witness how many people feel that their religion and devotion motivate them to do positive activities such as volunteering, helping people in need, etc. and from that point of view it is a contribution to society. On the other hand, it is inevitable to mention some points that seem negative to me, such as that there are very extreme religions that limit the freedom of every human being, as in a recent situation with Afghanistan and the imposition of the Taliban (even if it is said that "they they decide to profess that religion", many times it can be not as well as they say..), and that is not a positive way of religion.

Hoping any of my opinions don't offend somebody.

XOXO💖
