Religion, faith and the role they play today

[@mohitmishra6170]

people around the world are not loosing faith in religion but in religious institutions...and that is quite understandable

[@id1666]

Nope. These statistics are based on questions directly about faith such as "Do you believe a god/gods exits?" etc. and more and more people answer no. The richer the people, the less they believe, albeit it takes a few rich generations to take effect. Just wait and see when the rich oil-arabas start abandoning their religion one by one in the next few decades, just like the ones who were born in Europe are doing. The start is slow as social pressure inhibits freedom of will.

Mohit Mishra - Religions is only declining in the West. The world is getting more and more religious. There is a surge in Buddhist Nationalism all over Sri Lanka, Thailand and Mynamar and other south east Asian country. Hindu nationalism is growing in India and Nepal. Christianity is also booming in Africa and China. Islam is becoming more and more conservative. Religion isn't dying except in the West.

@@id1666 pretty late here, but believe me, those arabs aren't even following islam anymore. Ironic seeing that islam spread from there. They're just as bad as any other (maybe even worse due to the human trafficking and bombings they give the orders to).

Peer group think is driving opinion. Where it is illegal to think of your self as religious - when questioned you say no. Where religious belief is publicly expected - you answer yes when questioned. In the US, if you claim atheism, you will find it harder to prosper in society - the opposite is true in China. Imagine a senior Chinese official claiming to be 'religious' - they will not be senior very long. In the US imagine the speaker of the house, claiming that religion is false, they will not be house leader any longer. Then there are those states and nations where your personal faith or non-belief is not government and society controlled. Your society drives most of your beliefs.

I truly believe that a lot of people choose a culture or religion or atheist stance etc because they feel that it is non mainstream simply as a defense against being marginalized as a lesser value person. It might be growing hair long in the 60's or getting tattooed all over these days, or joining islam or wearing punk hair and clothing etc etc etc ....if people feel like they are up against this massive institution and they feel they wound up on a lower rung? Feeling like no one important? Join something that makes you feel special and that has a rebel element to it against the mainstream status quo ....even join a religion if it welcomes with open arms and a "place" can be envisioned that is superior to what one started with...it offers that shock value "I'm THIS which is BETTER/smarter/RIGHT" . If you ask me anyways... Being now an old man who has "been there done that" myself too many times ...as to be thoroughly embarrassed now... It is ALL just a bunch of ridiculous lying to ourselves (IMHO) ....even those buying the mainstream as superior and right born to be the elite ...maybe they are worst of all even....bottom line if you ask me? We are naturally like a bunch of junior high girls when it comes to being strong HONEST individuals...very sad actually ...again if you would ask me....Personally? I REPENT big time! At all costs now I want to be an individual with my OWN thinking and ID ....a thing which costs many times but offers a feeling of being clean somehow... ​
