Religious intolerance is ruining our modern world. Religion and religious practice is something that differs all over the world and is a huge controversial topic among nations. The negative effects of religion on society are tremendous. Religion is filling people with fear, turning them against themselves and others. Can you think of how many wars have started because of religion? Not only is the intolerance affecting people, it is also effecting the way of development of our world, with religious fanatics trying to withhold the way of scientific development. Not all faiths share the same beliefs and the same messages of equality, that leads to the damaging of our society. In my opinion some religions are less beneficial to society because

It is filling a person with fear and doubt among themselves, which turns into the seclduing and even turning agaisnt others. [The Unbounded Spirit]. In many religions it is said that you are born a sinner and therefor tell you to live your life as a perfect human being. This is an entirely unatural process to act in such a way, we as people are all flawed. To act in such an unatural way puts doubt and pressure in everything you do. So as soon as they do something ‘wrong’ in the eyes of god, they start hating themselves. They believe they are a bad person, start second guessing that they are not a worthy human being. Their life becomes filled with resentment, anger and even hatred. If you hate yourself you are bound to start thinking that of others. Thinking of them as sinners. You will not tolerate religious beliefs that are different from yours. I believe this is why all around the world we see religions fighting one another. Why can’t we just accept that everyone has their indifferences?

Can you think of how many wars have been carried out throughout history in the name of God and religion? I can name a few from the many including; the French wars of religion in the 16th century between Catholics and Protestants, another war between those religions, the ‘Thirty Years war’, during the 17th century, and not to mention the on going war in Islam and all over the Middle East. [Schmidt, 2014]. The almost continual warfare in the Middle East over the past century has surely contributed to the idea that religion is a main cause of war. In these states is probably the most cruel and intense continueous form of war between religions. For example, most Iraqi Muslims invoke Yazidis as devil-worshippers, The Islamic State is victimizing them due to their misconception. If that’s not cruel I don’t know what is. Clearly the major reason for all the issues in the region is religion. There is, Sunni vs. Shia, Muslim Brotherhood vs. other religions and Coptic Christians and the secular state in Egypt and many more. [Hotspots-Middle East]. If we look at it from more perspectives, we can see that most faiths have the same ideals or policies, the idea of one God etc., so we have no reason to fight. I have personally lost faith in humanity, if there was a God, why haven’t these things been stopped? That is my personal opinion and not to which should I have offended others faiths. The point being
