What religion is most powerful?

Question

in shaping world events

Answer 1

Isn't asking this like going to the playground and asking the boys who's daddy can beat up all the other dads?

Seriously...I doubt we can get an answer that isn't going to be accused of bias?

But let's look at something even non-believers can agree on. What is the trouble spot that has brewed and simmered for the longest time? And had so many political leaders try so hard to find a peaceful solution, but to no avail?

If you say Israel, you're right.

What two religions are comparatively at odds?

I'd say these three religions (I combine Christianity and Judaism together in the previous question) have the greatest impact on world events.

So..what is it about these religions...how do they compare...what areas do they not agree on....since they can't agree in totality, does that mean none have the truth, or can we find the truth in one?

I'd do some serious research before I just dismissed these.

Answer 2

The history of religion shows that each of the world's great religions slowly emerged, reached a golden age where it stood at the apex of its civilizing power and influence, then, as its teachings became corrupted and usurped, gradually waned. These religions have underpinned our ever-advancing social evolution from tribe to nation. Today's events are shaped more by the lamentably defective social systems which were outgrowths of earlier religious systems. They don't work any more because they are suited to an earlier age of nation-building while we are moving towards a planetary paradigm. None is most powerful.

Answer 3

actually this may sound dumb but they are equal the religion drives the culture that it is in. The beliefs of each culture are a cause and effect on the area/region that they live in and as a result the rest of the world The most fought over piece of land in histroy is Jerusalem of which the main section was .35 square miles (about 3 city blocks) and the really screwed up part is the top 3 western religions all believe in the EXACT same god just differ on how to follow him -Jewish christ islam

Answer 4

God Almighty shapes world events to one end, which is the perfect fulfillment of His divine plan. The faithful open themselves up to God's will for their lives and act accordingly, but all power rests with God.

The only important thing to know is whether or not you have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you do, then there is nothing to fear, no matter what may happen on this earth with regards to world events, because God has already defeated sin and death...now we're just to be ready for His return and be content with what we have.

Answer 5

If one, then I would say the Zionists(Hardline Jews). They control the media and are responsible for policy making in the so-called greatest nation, America. Anyways, all three abrahamic religions are powerful. The most influential is obviously Islam.

Answer 6

Humanism

Answer 7

Generally the one with the most freaky uneducated zealots, which right now in history means Islam, hands down, as most Catholics don't give a flip about their religion, Baptists are (worldwide) small enough to ignore, thank Christ, so Islam, with its masses of brainless androids, easily wins.

Answer 8

Islam and Christianity -- > the two largest religions. Christianity being the largest and Islam the fastest growing.

Answer 9

I would have to say that the Catholic church is the most powerful, hands down. That's been true for a long time, although I don't think it will last a LOT longer, especially at the rate the current Pope is going. He doesn't seem to be the sort of person who's much in the "win friends and influence people" department.

Answer 10

Freemasonry, from what I gather, has the most political clout, but I could be wrong about that. A close second would be Christianity.
