The number of religions across the world is uncountable. All these religions enjoys a great role in determining the way of live of each associated human being. Infact it is the single thing that greatly unites and controls multitudes of men. Its a bonding that is much thicker than any other force.
Karl Marx had once rightly pointed out ' Religion is the opium of the people". This is very true in the past, present and will remain so in the future.
The way in which people think and act are determined by the religion. Some religions however fortunately has adopted a wider thinking thinking and opened hands to all. Whereas some are shallow and never allows to think outside the box.
Two great thoughts are the ones set forth by the Hindu religion and Christianity. In Sanskrit there is an ancient writing 'loka samastha sukino bhavanthu'. This means about the global well being. Hinduism believes in that, the entire living things in the universe should live well and peacefully.
And in Christianity, Jesus Christ teaches his followers ' love your neighbor as yourself'. Its is the prime duty of each man to maintain a sense of care and love for each other. Without these essential traits there can be no mutual trust and peace.
In modern world we have standards for all. There are standards on automobile emissions, on subjects topics to be taught in schools, quality standards for edible foods, standards for communication so on and so forth. The only thing that do not have to fall in line with any regulations is the religions. Religions for some reasons or the other are never touched upon and often left undiscussed even by intellectuals. Religions are man made. And there are newer man made religions sprouting in several parts of the world today. Thus it is a matter of significance that there must be standards for religions also. Religions must guarantee progress and peaceful co-existence. Its time to end destruction and fights based on minor difference. As a global citizen we must unite and live together.
The fact of the matter is that there should be clear cut guidelines that governs the attributes of a religion. Injustice in the name of the religion should be banned. Even the modern world see many fraud holy men surfacing from different part of the world. Each go by own imagination and utters rules of their choices. So such actions can be curbed if there are universal rules on Do's and Don't's.
