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.

Good topic and summary Ethan! Be sure to check back on Thursday to keep replying. Posted on day late.
i think diversity in religon is a good thing because it makes the world feel less distopian and religon helps you find a meaning to life and after life but it can tear relation ships apart like family friends and love interests.
I believe that religion is good. It doesn't really matter that there is many religions because everyone has there own beliefs. I don't think there are bad things that comes with religion it is simpily beliefs and for someones own good. It can help with someones mindsets, health, and overall just praying can help anything. But everyone has there own beliefs.
I think that its fine and good that everyone has a different religion so you could learn more about them and what there tought and learn more about there families. I think that what you do can be bad because they have different side and belifes than us so you can easily say something that they dont believe in.
What do you think on the many diffrent religions? in my persinal opinion i belive that religion is very good for you and i think its a good idea that we have diffrent religions because if someone wants to learn something diffrent than they should be able to belive what they want.
I believe that religion is good for our world. I also think it is a good idea to have different religions just in case someone wants to learn a different religion. Every person thinks there religion is the best one. I feel like religion can help you out in many ways. For example, it can get you through the day.
What do i think about mant different religions. I think that it's nice to have more than just one. So it's not broing just having one we have there is roughly 4,200 religions. So there are a lot of religions.
What do you think about the many different religions? I think it is a great thing that people are able to believe in different things and what they stand for. I think that religion does help society because like you said there is fewer suicides, people and families are often more and there are fewer divorces.
2.) There are good and bad parts to religion, this is proven by the many wars that have been fought due to different beliefs, people have segregated and destroyed, and even took things from other religions. There were and are people who killed or imprisoned people who believed in other religions.
What are some of the good or bad things that you think can come from religion? I think there are numerous bad things but also numerous good things with religion. These include being able to worship your god, and attend a church with people of similar views. However there are some bad things about religon, such as people scamming older and more vulnerable religous people. For example someone could make a tv ad asking for donations to their church and threatening something bad to happen if they dont donate. Usually they would broadcast these ad's on channels that more older people tend to watch.
