Why we don't need Religion

As the modern man started settling down and cultivating the seeds of civilization and society he began to ponder on his place in the world and the universe. It must have seemed impossible for him to believe that all this around him and now us could be a mere co-incidence. That there must be some higher purpose to their being. From this bloomed the greatest tragedy of humankind----RELIGION.

In the early days of humanity religion filled the void that amn could not explain. Why the sun rose ??Why it rains??? Why the earthquakes??? Why the volcanic eruptions??? Who created the universe , earth, the plants and animals and more importantly Us??? Religion answered all of it. With no means of knowing the truth behind all this religion came like a bright light cutting through the darkness of night.

But along with religion came superstition, pre-judices off which religion seemed to find its drive. The early forms of religion allowed for original thinking and pursuit of truth none more so than Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. But with age instead of maturing further it became a child like the other major religions Christianity and Islam. Fluidity gave way to rigidity and questioning nature to orthodoxy drowning the world into the depths of darkness.Science and its priests,the harbringer of prosperity and a genuine happiness, has been ruthlessly persecuted..religion and its intolerance has affected the psyche of mankind in the worst possible way.

But now with science fighting back and providing us more and more insight into the working of our world and disproving all of the religious myths ...its time we parted with the old ways...religion has become obsolete..it served its purpose & it makes business sense..once a product has served its purpose and is no more effective and competent it has to be discarded.....Evolution is in the nature of things and its time we let religion evolve as well....and that evolution is Science.......
