Multifactorial.

Religion is second most important FILTER involved in "Generation of thoughts".

The Most Important filter is Language. The basic trait that differentiate humans from animals. Followers of same religion from groups belonging to different languages will respond differently to same religious triggers.

Beyond its primary language, any religion will be flawed, viciously with time.

Quite a detrimental impact factually.


Humanity is better served with no religion.

 

[Farhan The Man]

Look at these grown men. Almost no decorum of humanity, evil inside and outside.

Seems like religion ( particularly one) is on your mind 24/7 Farhan Bhai.

Not sure burning flags is an indication of religious brain rot or just mob hooliganism common through the third world. In fact it's common in the first world as well come to think of it.

One of the problems with troll posters is they rarely want to seriously discuss any issue. Especially those who keep coming back under new identities to regurgitate the same stuff.

I respect religion for providing a sense of peace and calmness to people. Everyday life can be too daunting to deal with especially in the modern era. In this materialistic society which wouldn’t stop making you feel inadequate everyday, religion provides relief to the mind that none of this matters after all and something lies beyond all this struggle of the mortal life.

The moment religion is added to politics , governance and used for dominance is when it loses its meaning for me.

One cannot ignore the chronic malaise this "one" religion offers.

Alternatively, you can provide empirical evidence of any incremental benefit this "one" offers to society. Be it uptick in human intelligence, societal hygiene, health or fitness, environmental upkeep, intra or inter peace accords.

Identify any empirical improvement this "one" brought about since IRP rebrand in '71. Any mention suffices. Any.

If anything is taught to a person from childhood that it is the most important thing in his or her life, that will become inseparable part of the person's life as an adult. Any criticism or even questioning of his beliefs will become an attack on their very existence. They can react anywhere between mild rebuke to physical violence. It all depends on how strongly the person is indoctrinated.

Imo what is worse is someone who claims to be an atheist but is a staunch defender of a religion which his parents or ancestors are . Ive never witnessed an atheist like yourself defend right wing Hinduism so much. Are you hiding something or pretending?

I think you could make a case for believing just about anything and claiming it is Hinduism. Therefore no doubt Hinduism can be spiritual or atheist, meat eating or vegan, etc. You get the picture.

I don't defend any religion. I defend the right to exist and freedom to follow or criticize any religion or cult.

In that case, why do you act salty when someone criticizes the cult called "BJP"?

I defend Hindutva aka Nationalism. Not any political party.
