Necessity for ‘Religionism’ (to be abandoned)

There is causality as a reason behind, every physical event and there always will be necessity as an intention ahead, every mental event. Mythical practice of religion (of any kind) must have some necessity at its root of origin. Here, we are to test the stance of existing religions against their necessity.


Once, might be some social well wishers, sowed the seed of Religion in the rock of love and belief, putting the necessities for harmonious society and self-sufficiency of its people together as its fetus. Religions seem to be grown with rich nutritious philosophies and fables and expected to yield fruits of prosperity. It’s the power-lords deprived those well wishers upon sharing mere authorities. Religions, as sprout went on to the hand of political authorities. There, Religions, survived randomized good and bad seasons. Well wishers, enjoyed the power. The misfortune was very lately recognized; meanwhile the plants of religions were pruned into different shape. It’s only the beliefs of people that held the religions till this time, but only its life not the nature. Later the idea of Democracy, with similar necessities, was also tried. Situation worsened! This time almost every mind was deceived to the desire of development of a selfish kind. When things loose its own necessities has to face its causalities! This time is for harvesting. We are now, stacking continuous starvations in place of prosperity, tasting the terrorism instead of breathing harmony.


But it’s not the END rather a NEW BEGINNING. Whilst in this situation Religions thought us the art of living successfully, through its Customs and Spirituality. We cannot do marriages just like that nor do the funerals. We do ‘Baptism’, ‘Nikah’, and ‘Cremation’ and so on. We used to live in that way only. Through customs and rites we learned to enhance the elations and slender the sorrows, so as to achieve both physical and mental well being-ness. But this warranty will not be sufficient to entertain the Religions. Officially 14% of world population is non-religious, and this doesn’t mean that remaining were seriously religious. Almost one third of religious people, by birth, were believed to be non-practitioners. Highly non-religious countries such us Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Japan, Czech Republic, Finland, France, South-Korea, etc. were all well developed in both economical and social aspects. Though religions are meant to enhance good development, it’s not the only means. Rationalizing the customs and secularizing the society will not only helps in development but also ultimately helps to control unwanted terrorism and to avoid unnecessary starvations. This cannot be achieved merely through legal systems, but could be through sincere cultural practices. Society is not something like heaven or hell laying out somewhere. Think off! Let us refine our inheritance of ‘Religionism’ into Rationalism for younger generations.
