Technically speaking, the divine origins with strong inner sentiments to which one is bound to spend life voluntarily. Religion bounds man to be in some specified boundaries so as to spend (peaceful) life. Religion is considered to the top priority as far as the philosophical class is concerned just because it is a natural phenomenon that human is a religion-oriented creature.

Technically speaking, the divine origins with strong inner sentiments to which one is bound to spend life voluntarily. Religion bounds man to be in some specified boundaries so as to spend (peaceful) life. Religion is considered to the top priority as far as the philosophical class is concerned just because it is a natural phenomenon that human is a religion-oriented creature.
All the major religions in the world profess humanism as per fundamental teaching. To elaborate, the major religions: Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and all other major religions have one point agenda humanity. To begin, Christianity is among the chief religions followed and practiced all over the world by Catholics and Protestants. The sacred text “Holy Bible” old and new testaments point out humanity as its primary priority. It is later when the people mistook it and put baseless allegations. Islam is the second largest religion founded since time immemorial — since man set foot on the earth. The followers are called Muslims. Muslims believe in Allah and the final messenger, Muhammad (P.B.U.H.). Islam means peace acquired by submitting one’s will to Allah. It is an indubitable fact that Islam acknowledges the message of peace and humanity, however, westerners misinterpret it and allegedly call it an extremist religion which is due only to the hatred toward Muslims. The other major religion is Buddhism, founded in 525 BC by Gautama Siddhartha Buddha which is followed mostly in china, Nepal, Tibet, Korea, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, etceteras. The sacred text, Tripitaka also called Sutras, clearly guides on the way to humanism. Similarly, Hinduism, according to ‘The Vedas’ founded divinely in 1500 BC, followed mostly in Nepal and India propagates the message of truthfulness, humanity and peace.
Nonetheless, some apparent issues created on behalf of religion(s) , full of groundless misconceptions directly escort to inter religious hatred, sectarian violence, undue extremism, fanaticism, intolerance, and other mishaps. There has been sheer fatalism which is not the curriculum of any religion. These flaws are solely given birth by the so-called high religious authorities.
To put it straight forward, religion is not a problem itself but the blind followers of a particular religion mistake its basic teachings. No religion in the world teaches moral degradation or tends to spat over religious differences rather these religions add to the beauty of the world and abound with authentic texts with peace as foremost concern. The undue innovations and false impressions are the gateway to irreparable losses. The sole cause of misunderstandings about any religion is the high religious authorities who are pursued without any proper attention. Since people attach indiscriminate sentiments with intolerant religious scholars, there exists on plethora of social issues.
Besides, media is considered to be a black sheep. Yes, the troublemaker media contributes much to make serious delusion against religion(s). It has become an alarming global issue. Atheist class needs chance to pinpoint the petty faults of religious leaders.
In fact, all religions provide solutions to the prevailing issues. The modern world is confronted with multiple issues such as insecurity, homicide, political instability; particularly, depression and anxiety. The only panacea for these distressing matters is ‘religion’ which not only inculcates moral values but also provides solution to the issues of moral degradation and gives solid remedies to all the social problems such as injustice and human rights violation. No religion teaches to silence the voice of any innocent human being. Indeed, the peaceful holy scriptures of the religions advise being kind to animals.
To be on a safer side, religion must not be considered inferior. Every religion needs to be given hefty respect. Global issues are indeed a menace to the modern world, but these can be abolished through brotherhood, humanity, compassion, tolerance and peace.
On the other hand, media can also play a pivotal role in composing the optimistic approach among the people belonging to different religions all over the world. The chief idea is that similarities amongst different religions must be focused so that peace and harmony can be restored. In this way, inter-religious hatred can be put to end.
Another universal remedy is the constructive role of well-known World Organization, especially UNO. It is high times world needed the end of power game. Properly speaking, effective planning must be made in order to reduce the detrimental effects of scientific advancements. Superpowers in the world are highly anticipated to do their part in achieving global peace.
In a nutshell, religion is not merely a belief in God; it is an organized system of spending one’s life peacefully. All the major religions in the world teach humanity and brotherhood. Social issues take place because of misconceptions and misinterpretations about religions. It must be kept in mind. Religions do not promote social evils at all; all the troubles and misconceptions occur because of high intolerance and less attention to the authentic quotes and sacred texts of the concerned religion.
