Religion has been around for centuries, it has caused conflicts and separation among many different groups of people. It had inspired people as well as destroyed people. Their is nothing wrong with believing in a higher power, but I often think the concept of religion is a give and take relationship. If you do not believe what I say and serve me, here are the list of repercussions. Its almost a scare tactic. Religion also can cause close mindedness to a situation, where an open minded person may be able to see both sides of an argument, a religious person may not. Because it's such an emotional concept to people, it may never die. Even if every scrap of our world was to disappear, the next generation will find something to believe in.
