Do you accept or deny that religion is based on little more than culture?

Question

If you deny it, than look at the religion statistics of all the global countries. It's a fact that around 75%(3/4) of people will carry on the religious beliefs of their parents to some extent or demonation. Hinduism in India, Buddhism in Thailand, Shintoism in Japan, one of the many tribal religions still in existance in many parts of Africa.

Child indoctrination is highly psychological. Child process information differently than adults, when a child is met with a constant influx of religious beliefs when they are young, they rarely develop the need, or often even the psychological capacity to question these beliefs. Many get to the point where they see other beliefs as taboo, which can be seen in our culture.

What twisted God would judge people based on their religious beliefs keeping this in mind. What, does God love some people more than others makign sure they are born in the right area to choose the right religion? Open up your eyes people.

Nope, look at Christian countries, statistics mirror those of other religious nations. Actually, because of many of its teachings, certain sects of Christianity are actually more culturally based.

That's good Neil because I've never met a Christian I'd consider a good person, plenty of Hindus and Buddhists in southeast asia though.

Answer 2

Dear Tourist,

Religion is re-lig, re-tying ourselves back
to the essence of our being.
Much in the same way as yoga is
yoking ourselves back to our source power.

If religion is handed on from parent to child,
there must at some point have been an ancestor
that it wasn’t handed down to.

I viewed my handed down Roman Catholic religion as taboo.

A definition of God, the ultimately undefinable,
may be put thus:
The infinite field power continuum,
of which, and in which we have our being…
The difference between the modern day empirical scientist
and the religious person, is that the empirical scientist
doesn’t believe that this field of power is intelligent.

Different cultures express this connection
in the way that different cultures do.
In this sense God to an oak tree would be a perfect oak
…to a swan would be a perfect swan.

Affirming all, I deny nothing.
Warm regards, John.

Spirituality is to move towards the Consciousness (the Knowledge, the Truth), it takes one to the absolute feeling of Oneness. Religion is generally a way to move towards Spiritualism as shown by saintly people in a society. So this may have influence of a social culture or with time it may get deteriorated with wrong influence. So I tend to accept the above statement.

I believe in Christianity because of a near death experience. I was of the believe that you had to be a good person. After my NDE all my previous teachings were incorrect. There is nobody who will get to heaven by being a good person.
