Religion in the world dates back to over 3,000 years ago to what people believe to be the world's oldest religion which is Hinduism. Hinduism originated in the Indian subcontinent of Asia by people who believed in the doctrines of Samsara, the continuous cycle of life, death, and reincarnation. They also believed in karma, the law of cause and effect. Where everything you do has a cause and effect relationship.
Then, moving on to a more newer religion which is Christianity, Christianity is a religion that believes that there is a God and a Jesus, and that in the end we will all go to heaven to be “tested” (In a way) and then resurrected (Can differ slightly by some branches). Christianity was created by Jesus and his disciples gathering for sermons (A message delivered to a congregation).
The benefits of these religions are: People who are very spiritual/ religious are normally very active in their church and are closer with their family than most, they are also overall happier with their life. They tend to live happier lives because divorce rates for families that have a religion versus families that don’t have a religion are lower. Another reason is that when people who have a religion go through hard times, they have something to rely on to get them through those hard times, also decreasing suicide rates.
There can also be some bad things about religion like people fighting about the better religion like people shaming others' religion or making fun of them because they believe in different things. A common thing I see with religion is people saying to others that: “If you don’t join this church, you won’t go to heaven”. Or some other things like that.
I personally believe that religion can help our society since it can reduce suicide rates and divorce rates and can do a lot of good but I do think that in today’s world it can be confusing whether to have a religion or not. Mainly because there are so many of them. And it also causes lots of fights off of it. But most of it is very beneficial to people.
What do you think about the many different religions?
What are some of the good or bad things that you think can come from religion?
What are your thought on the history of religion?

I strongly beileve that religion is very good for our world. I believe that everyone should have the option to follow the Lord, so the many religions could possibly help spread the world, but I also don't agree with most of them because I was born into a religoin. I do wish we all could agree on the religion we had in the beggining so we all can have mutal thoughts and be able to talk about it to others. I definitely think that God can help everyone. Honestly I think that religion is a wonderful thing because we are preparing for enternal life!
I agree with the fact that religion is very good for us and that everyone should have the freedom to choose if they want to follow God. I do think that people should not fight about their religion but instead agree on it, like you said.
i think it is amazong how america can have so many diffrent religions and still be a place where you can be you, I think there is no such thing as a bad religion unless it involved harming the living, I do not support cult like behavior being known as religion such as satanism.
Religions do help people because it's what they believe in. Some people devote their lives to their religion so it means a lot to them, but as you said, people tend to fight about it because they think their religion is better than another religion. But people will be people and fight over things. So overall I believe religions are important and they help people.
I agree with how you said that religion can help people and that people tend to fight a lot over their religions. I personally think that religion can help in a lot of ways like improving people's lives or improving mental health and bringing people together.
What do you think about the many different religions? I think it is kind of confusing how we ended up with so many variations of Christianity and different religions altogether. We all believed the same thing for a long time and started making new ones.
I think that religion is a good thing in our world today. There is many varieties of different religions and everyone is going to think theirs is correct. It can help people get out of tough times in their lives and find a good faithful path. I think everyone should have a good religion to follow.
I think that religion is good because, as you said, it helps people to get through rougher times. I also think that it helps people be better people because they follow what their god says, and usually, it's telling them to act nice and help others.
what I think is that everyone is entitled to their own personal beliefs which includes religion. I think some of the good that can come from religion is bringing people together and believing in something that will enrich your life, the negatives are that different religions fighting each other in wars have killed more people than just about anything else in world history.
I agree that there are a lot of positives like religion bringing people together but that it can also have a bit of a reverse effect with many people dying from religious wars. I also agree with how you think that religion can enrich people's lives.
