If all religions were meant to bring happiness to the people around the world, then...?

Question

why do people convert from one religion to another?

Answer 1

Religious suffering is at one and the same time the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is therefore in embryo the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo.

Answer 2

Who ever suggested that religions were meant to bring happiness? Religions were created to keep groups of like minded people from one culture together. The rules and laws of early religions mostly attempt to limit contact with other religions so as to maintain their cultural identity.

Answer 3

It's not really the religion that makes us happy...
It's the relationship with the Lord...
People shift from religions because they are trying to find the one that would answer their needs..

Answer 4

Good question. I think that people get bored with their religion, or maybe find another one more interesting, even find that after studying the Bible, another religion makes more sense in their beliefs.

Answer 5

true religion never meant to bring happiness it meant to bring sacrifice! matthew 10:22

Answer 6

Each person must find the religion that makes him content and happy.

Answer 7

Because, they don't have a very steady relationship with their current religion. And they usually get bored because they really don't understand much.

Answer 8

In faith people go where they are fed, if someone is not fed spiritually in the faith they are in they will move to a faith that does feed them spiritually.

Answer 9

They weren't. I think it's just natures way of dividing and conquering, thus war everywhere.

Answer 10

Religions do not save anyone from their sins. Only Jesus Christ can do that.
Christianity is Not a Religion

Please do not classify Christianity as just another religion? Please do not group Christianity with religions? Please do not confuse Christianity as being just another religion.
Christianity is not a religion per ce. Christianity is a relationship with the only true and living God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Christians belong to the family of God. Christians are spiritual brothers and sisters to Jesus Christ and spiritual brothers and sisters to one another. They are the family of God. They have a relationship that is like no other on earth. They are all one in Jesus Christ. No so-called religion can claim that.
Christianity was created by God, Jesus Christ, to save mankind from their sins to take them to heaven to be with Him forever.
All religions of the world were created by Satan to keep men in their sins so he can take them to hell to be with him forever.
Christ came to take away sin and give life. Satan came to add sin and death.
From the beginning of sin, first started by Satan, Satan wanted to be as God. The best he can now do is disguise himself as as many gods as he can to capture the souls of the masses to keep them in their sins and take them to hell when they die physically.
Christians are followers of Jesus Christ as the only one who can forgive, remove and cleanse them from all their sins by the blood He shed for them at Calvary.
Religious people are followers of some false god created by Satan.
Christianity is not a religion. It does not follow a false God.
Christianity is God, Jesus Christ, saving men from their sins.
Religions are men trying to be good enough on their own to save themselves and get to heaven by their own efforts and good works.
What religious people don't know is, because of their sins, they can never be good enough to get to heaven on their own efforts and good works. They do not know, understand or accept the fact that, in order to go to heaven, they must have their sins forgiven, removed and cleansed by the blood Jesus Christ shed for them at Calvary.
Christianity is the truth of God revealed to mankind in God's word, The Holy Bible, the only book that is spiritually alive and can make believers spiritually alive to God. Christianity's holy book, the Holy Bible, is the only truly holy book written by the true and living God. God used some 40 authors to record what He wanted in The Holy Bible, but He is the actual author. God wrote The Holy Bible.
Religion's so-called holy books are not holy but are books written by men inspired by Satan, not God. Unless you want to say Satan is the real author who wrote all those so-called books to confound the minds of the masses to keep them from coming to Jesus Christ, their only Savior from sin.
Religions are lies created by Satan, revealed to them through their so-called holy books. Their so-called holy books are spiritually dead books. They cannot convey spiritual life to anyone.
Christianity has a living leader, the one and only true and living God, the Lord Jesus Christ, who after three days, arose from the grave and is now alive at the right hand of the throne of God the Father in heaven. He is there now making intercession to the Father for His children. No religion can claim that.
Religions have leaders who are now dead and in their graves. None are still alive.
Christians have saving faith to believe the truth and go to heaven.
Religious people have fatal faith to believe lies and go to hell.
Christ saves mankind from their sins and helps keep them from becoming worse sinners.
Religion can do nothing about man's sin but, as far as God is concerned, make them more sinful.
Religions breed pride, hatred and extreme ideology. Some religious zealots are actually demon possessed who hate, rape and murder under the guise of their religion.
Christ brings humility, love and a balanced ideology.
Once again, Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is a personal, life changing relationship with the one and only true and living God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Is that true of You? Do you have a personal, life changing relationship with the one and only true and living God, the Lord Jesus Christ?
Salvation is a free gift. You cannot work for it. You cannot be good enough to earn it. You must, by faith, receive it as a free gift. (“8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.”) Ephesians 2:8-9.
