What is really the purpose of religion since it fails to embrace complexity and also its failure for one religion to empathize with another religion

In the name of Allah extremists kills n also wanna get rid of others practicing other religion; Christians heckle others about hell n incite fear on non-christians (mostly through fake stories); Atheists resolve against beliefs in a God or higher deity n would stand-up on anyone that thinks otherwise

The interesting part is that the average religious man cannot prove of most things he chooses to speak of

This is an open topic (to all religion), please feel free to give your opinions

To provide the necessary outlet for mentally-fragile individuals to cope with life's challenges.
Akin to physiothepy for the over-indulgence in delusional psychoses!
Also, an opiate for the poor in spirit. . . .or materially poverty-stricken.
Bottom line? It gives hope to those who have failed woefully in life. . .a chance to look forward to the after-life.
Thinking their chances at a more wholesome spiritual wellbeing will be IMPROVED.

All a hoax of course!
For the GULLIBLE!

No difference from indulging in alcohol and drugs as the main HALLCUINOGEN. . .without getting arrested or confined!

The problem with the world in general!

Eureka!

Interesting subject and response.

*subscribes*

there is also the money making part of it as per tithes
control and dominance of officers of religion
also used by certain states as an instrument of governance.

First of all I believe there is a GOD, but religion is completely different from what God is. God is love but religion is hate!

I think religion is a creation of some knowledgeable people that existed in the past just to cage their fellow men and restrict their thinking abilities with the aim of lording over them.

What's ur religion?

Urmmm, it was not a pre-requisite for responding to the subject matter.
I am happily atheistic with an 'agnostic' topping sir!
Divinely inspired too!

More opinions needed from all religions

The purpose of religion has totally shifted away from what it was, originally. It was meant to help take our souls up in the spiritual evolutionary ladder. But instead, it is taking mankind down that same ladder. Religion has become a tool of mass programming and societal conformity. It has also, tragically, become a means of human mind control and conflict engineering by the ruling elite.

Religion has become and has been - for 2 millenia now - a very useful and effective tool of mass control of the vast majority of the world populace by the very tiny minority, the ruling class. And in the case of Nigeria, it has become a means of extortion of money from poor people.

Asking what's the purpose of religion is akin to asking the purpose of a knife. Should it be used to kill humans? Animals? cut vegetables?

The purpose of a tool is defined by the arm that wields it.

I'm irreligious by the way.

The purpose is up in the air, then? No wonder religion is forking people's mind up so bad.
