The Importance of Religion
Religion exists for a long time in the human society . The study of archaeology show that since there is country , there is religion . Wang Zhicheng have said that the truth of religion lies not in its external economic strength but in its in-depth perception of the world and its ability of lead people to attain the consciousness of life . I quite agree with his comments . I think we need religion , because it has a great influence on the individual , the society and the world.
I am not a religious , but I do admire my religious friends . They have
a positive and serious attitude toward life and live . And the influence of religious involves all aspects of life . For example , Jewish life values is not only reflected in achieving spiritual perfection through practice the religious behavior , but also putting emphasis on the cultural education and through continuous learning to close to the god . Proverbs say that upbringing of children , in the way he should go , he will never turn from it even he is old . These kind of teaching which Judaism attach great importance to the education have great influence continuing today . Many successful people such as the world famous writer , philosopher and wealthy business man are coming from the Jews . Like “the greatest philosophers in Jewish tradition ”Mose Maimonides , the world renowned violinist Menuhin ,the founder of the psychoanalysis school
Freud . The Jews have made these achievements are inseparable with their Jewish nurture . In many centuries of the Jewish Diaspora history , Judaism is Jewish Human life and the pursuit of spiritual sustenance and penetrate in the social and political , all areas of the economy , culture , customs , etiquette , etc . And in the Christian Jesus , it has called on people to have a noble soul ,to love and tolerate others and pay attention to pure soul and so on .
In a word , the influence of religion on the outlook on life and values is far-reaching ,small to determine a person’s moral character ,marriage life ,interpersonal relationship , then to form a national characteristics and traditional culture .
Religion is not just about people’s spiritual world , it also contribute to the society and science . Such as Buddhism , we can not say that Buddhism is a science , but I think it contains some science . Buddhism have some contributions in physics , chemistry , biology , astronomy and medicine . Especially in medicine , Buddhism relatively has the most abundant content and the most complete system , it includes basic theory , clinical trials , medicine and health care , child care and many other aspects .
But religion also has their bad influence . Nowadays , some people use of religious differences inciting racial hatred , stirring up so-called Civilization Conflict . Even some people be ripoff to split the motherland
under the signboard of religion ! So the world should stick up for the purity of religion . Because of the importance of religion , we must raise the peace flags to oppose the use of religion to engage in undesirable activities , promote religious tolerance and reconciliation , create an environment of world peace !。
