Can a common ground be achieved? Religion is a system of beliefs, practice, and worship of a supernatural power such as a god, goddess, or multiple gods. Religion, giving people hope, protection, and a sense of understanding is supposed to bring people together yet divides nations more and more everyday. Thus, believers of one religion claim to be more superior than another. Is there one true religion? The idea of becoming equal failed after wars, and the deaths that followed. One true religion is impossible to obtain due to the compromises that would have to be made and the common ground that is not found.

Henry VIII of England is not only known for ruling a country but for going against the pope’s words and divorcing from his first wife. This then led to a separation of The Roman Catholic Church and Church of England. Later in history, Abraham Lincoln says, “When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That 's my religion,” simply sharing what he thinks is the morally right way to live. There is no need for a God to tell you right from wrong, when we all have a conscience. Students across the nation have studied, praised, and even looked up to, these men had strong opinions about religion when religion has always played a factor in politics and nations.
