No. I don't think all religions are good. Many are built on weak foundations and preach things that can only be described as hateful. Particularly the Monotheistic religions which are built on the premise that anyone who doesn't agree with them is a horrible monster. With that kind of intolerance at the base, how could it b considered good? And that's without getting into all the twisted fear based dogma and scripture that teaches things like subjugating women and living your life in constant fear and willful ignorance.

First we must understand what exactly the word Religion means. There are various meanings given to the word, but in general it means to reunite or regrouping. That means it mostly concerns with "numbers". Regrouping of people who follow the same belief or thought. Basically to show numerical strength under certain dogma which is supposed to guide you to spirituality. Yes Religions have their impact on Society, just as politics. But the real uplift of spiritual life is nothing to do with religion. It is always individual relationship between God and the seeker.

God gives the Truth (how to books) but man changes them for his desire. Then God has to send another representative to reestablish the truth that appears to be lost. Again man puts his filthy hands on the truth and angain God has to Come or send His representative to reestablish the truth. That is why their are so many religion. People hold on to the past religions that are now misconstured and only few accept the recent saint or incarnation. Krishna says in the Gita " Whenever their is a decline in religious principals and the Truth appears to be lost, I appear again and again or send My representative to reestablish the truth." That is why. Want more info go to harekrishnatemple.c Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada-The most recent pure representative of God (from a pure line of disciplic succession all the way from the appearance of Lord Krishna (God) 5,000 years ago) which is how pure knowledge must be taken.

As long as religion teaches doing good to the society, I accept all religions are good. Rifts are caused by certain selfish elements in all religions. Religion is a particular path to realise God. But some selfish people create differences among different religions to achieve their desired ends. So all religions are good and surviving due to the patronage of human beings.

Christianity represents beliefs of historically obscure Semitic tribes of illiterate goat herders who lived over 2000 years ago and who needed a God to tell them whether or not it was OK to have sex with sheep – and that is where it should have stayed. Christianity is as useful today as those goat herders would be to Stephen Hawking in developing a mathematical description of the universe.

Disagree with you. Religion arose as a means of controlling the populace. In order to maintain a grip over the masses religion uses the risk-reward system, heaven and hell. CONTROL and not much else is why religion came into being.

Religions are primitive faith-based philosophies. They advocate faith instead of reason for guidance, knowledge, and morality. It's the wrong turn that primitive people took, and we are still working at straightening our minds.
Only logical reasoning can distinguish the good from the bad, truth from falshood, reality from fantasy.
Reason explains. Faith is a sentiment that can only make us feel good.

People must think that their relligion is best. If not, how can one propagate it to others and wecome people to it? The problem arise when they say that their's are the one and only best and all others should be eleminated. While every body tries to put their cult suprime, conflict becomes inevitable. Believe every relligion is divine and let us respect all, if could not follow.
