Religion - The Ultimate Separatist


A close look at the history of humanity clearly reveals that Religion has had been the single most important factor in dividing humanity.
 
So many riots, violence, terrorist activities and even wars have had been caused solely by this dividing factor – religion. For example the Partition of India in 1947, Formation of Islamic Terror Groups, Militancy in Kashmir and other parts of the world, The Israel & Palestinian conflict, Terrorist attacks in US, UK etc. and counter attacks in Iraq, Afghanistan etc.etc.

The reason for all these is that despite the tall promises of secular form of governance said to be adopted by all the politicians in the world, the sad fact is that all the politicians, rulers have had never been able to ignore religion at all.

The single most convincing evidence about their false secular governance is the requirement of mentioning one’s religion in so many Application Forms, Declarations etc. while corresponding, communicating with various Govt and institutions, corporations, organizations etc..

The other fact which proves non-secular form of governance especially in India is the Reservation Systems for jobs. The reservation system in India is solely based on caste, creed and religion. India is by no means a secular country because it has no uniform land of law for its citizens, because it categorise people on the basis of caste, creed and religion in its census, in its job reservation systems etc. etc.

With so much violence happening in the name of religion, it is surprising that politicians still claim that they have developed their countries a lot. The fact is that unless and untill people can not understand the uselessness and futility of fighting in the name of religion, it is foolish to call ourselves ‘developed’ or ‘civilized’ by any standard at all. 

The Solution : Unless and until the politicians and their governments completely stop and rather prohibit mentioning or using of one’s religion in any communication, application or any document, this religion-based division of humanity will continue in this world especially in non-secular country like India.
