You have spoken the truth. BTW, here is a revelation that shows how religion began and how it would decline eventually.

sir, the problem here is not religion but religion practiced wrongly, that some people have decided to take advantage of people's beliefs in order to exploit them does not mean that, that's what true Christianity really entails, people like that are found everywhere even amon
g atheists, that there are dubious businessmen does not mean that business should be curbed, and because some politicians are corrupt does not mean that government should be annihilated. Religion is not the problem, wrong practice of religion is.


And your view that religion is an inhibiting factor to scientific advancement is grossly fallible, due to the fact that many scientists that have contributed to advancement in science were highly religious men, including the father of modern science Isaac Newton.


As Christians we are encouraged to be hardworking, because "God will only bless the works of our hands" laziness and slothfulness is not part of the Christian doctrine. Christians are always taught to emulate their father's in the faith eg Abraham Isaac Jacob, who were known as hardworking people. Miracle is not an excuse for laziness, and Expectation of favour without labour will cause poverty. So your view about the Christian doctrine is very generalized and erroneous.

Meanwhile try and imagine a world without religion, a world where everyone will interpret good and evil his own way, a world without control, restraint, a world without beliefs. A great man once said "if you stand for nothing you will fall for anything. cheers!

U are very Wrong.

In the problem is Religion! Every religion is Associated With A Holy Book! Ain't their fault if they follow it cause it's God Word

Newton was very religious grin Where did U get this idea from did he spend 24hr Every day praying to God to bless him and curse his enemies? Did he even ever go to Church? I tell U if he spent all of his life being very religious as U put it he wouldn't have discovered what he is known for.

When it comes to time management religion isn't Efficient

@Eye hate God, being religious doesn't necessarily mean clapping of hands and feigning piety. I actually meant that he believed strongly in God.

The holy book is not the problem, those that misinterpret what it contains, in order to exploit people are the problem.
And they shouldn't be used as the yardstick for judging what Christianity truly entails
