Why the peoples are changing their religion?is that they are not proud of their own religion?

Answer 1

A person's religion is what they believe in. If they were not proud of their own religion they could just claim to be atheists. If someone finds more support and understands why things work in a certain way in a different religion, it might be a reason for them to convert. I know people who have turned to Budhism, Hinduism (from Christianity) because they believed that what was taking place there had more to do with their current state of mind and body and not life after death.

You also have people who convert because they were never asked initially what they wanted to be. They were just what there parents were, followed what their society believed and at some point decided that something in the specific religion did not express their thought and beliefs in life.

Personally I believe that if someone just converts because they are not proud of their religion and not because they can't find the faith in that religion inside them, then they have definitely not really converted but just put on an act in front of others.

Answer 2

welll, it is the environment that are creating these days making them do so. We all know that today we are not safe in this world, anytime we can find ourself under the situation of war or terrorism so then why not to take a religion which is safe in all respect. I know that this is wrong we just can't live like a coward but from a father or a mother point of view, they do have a same feeling of religion and patriotism and are proud of their relgion but what if they knew that their childrens life is not safe, what if they know that anytime their children can be kidnapped because of the religious issues, so what's their fault.
Nobody wants to change their religion, everybody love their own religion and they are proud too but family comes first and then the religion, so tell the govt. of our country to wake up and provide the feeling of self security to the public and assure them that there religion is safe.

Answer 3

Changing religion is similar to changing political parties. Why do people change political parties? To get certain benefits. Likewise people also change their religions to get certain benefits. The benefits may be: to get money, to get a handsome job, for safety of life, to know god, or to fulfil some other sensual pleasures in this world. Then they can get these things from their own religion since all religions are preaching the same thing ultimately, so what is the need for change? You may argue. Because these poor chaps are not guided properly in their own religion, they were not shown enough light in their religion. They want some way out of their misery. So it is normal for them to shift to a religion that helps them get out of their misery. There is no use in making stringent laws or using force to stop this practice. Instead every religion must make a critical analysis of itself about what went wrong with it and take necessary steps to enlighten people to make their life happier in this world as well as in the other world. Religions should also change according to changing times. Then only they can survive among people, otherwise they will become rotten religions in the minds of people. The people may follow the religious rituals out of fear but the inner beauty and the real love towards the religion would be lost. It finally leads to self-cheating but to nowhere. No peace and no bliss! Only darkness!!

Answer 4

I don't think it has to do with pride...
It's probably something more like what 'works' for them with their internal belief system.

I think when it happens it's because the religion they were raised in may have disappointed them or left them with too many questions.

When someone changes their religion it might be out of convenience (to marry someone of another faith) or because the religion they are converting to 'speaks' to them on a spiritual level... filling their heart with love and all that jazz.

Personally I don't know anyone who has changed to a whole new different religion... just from different churches within the same type of faith.
I'm sure it isn't a change that comes too quick and easy.. it must be thought through... I'd imagine.

Answer 5

People change religion not because they are not proud of their own. The fact is that they get disillusioned and look towards other religions to find their answers and mental peace. It appears that no religion is perfect. If there was any, there would not have been so many religions, sects gurus and theories. Believe in HIM. He is omnipresent and HIS identity does not change with respect to different faiths.

Answer 6

Initially eveyyone think that their relgion is right. But, everyone cannot be true because different religions have contradicting belief. So, some tries to learn what's best and most accurate message of God. This is not a matter of proud. A person cannot be just proud of being born in christian family. This is illogical. He/She will be proud only if he/she believes that their belief is correct. You can be much more happy if you discover truth by your own effort.

Answer 7

Wrong category, but I will answer.

I left the Catholic church because the philosphy and culture differed from who I am and who I grew up to become. I didn't like the ideologies and the Catechism. I was not proud of it, but that wasn't the reason.

I don't think you can be told what to believe. It just comes naturally based on the environment you are introduced to as a child and a young adult. I don't think that pride really has anything to do with it. Its more about finding yourself and what "fits" best within your ideas.

Answer 8

You find many people on veggie
sites that have converted to Hindu
or Buddhism after becoming
vegetarian.

This is because many feel that
the teachings of a religious or
philosophical mogul like Gandhi,
Siddhartha, or His Holiness the Dali
Lama are more in line with their
new set of values such as:

1. Egalitarianism and equality of
the sexes
2. Respecting the lives of all living
beings and dedicating oneself
to a nonviolent code.
3.The denunciation of materialism
and its evils

Vegetarians can get very frustrated
with people who preach about love
and are unable to extend it to other
forms of life. Therefore they find it
impossible to worship in spirit and
truth.


Histories of war, violence, bloodshed
and animal sacrifice offend many
vegetarians and so some are unable
to reconcile the traditional beliefs of
their region or background with their
new moral lifestyle.

Answer 9

Much like different foods speak to different people, different religions offer different things. It's not that they aren't proud. They just feel more drawn to the teachings of another religion.

Answer 10

Why is this in the Vegan and Vegetarian section, when it has nothing to do with diet?

And people change their religions for different reasons. They might not believe in their religion anymore and decide to practice another one.
