谈谈你对宗教的看法

身在异国，文化差异中，宗教似乎是个核心。。

Religion can have many purposes...
First, it can be used as a guide to those who are lost.
Second, it can serve as a tool used for people to escapte reality by believing in a better after life.
Third, it establishes moral codes.
Forth, it can server as a measure for a person's self improvements.
Fifth, it promotes social interaction and creates social stability.
Sixth, it restrains people, in both positive and negative ways:
positive: it makes sure that a person doesn't go too far, too extreme, and too violent...
negative: it limits people's mind. It creates a false (or ture, depends what you believe) sense of hope, future, and certainty over the world in flux.
Seventh, it can serve as a tool for authorities to control the people.
Eighth, it can be used as an excuse for prejudice, persecutions, and other forms of injustice.
Ninth, it can be used for wars.
Tenth, it establishes social/racial/political hierachies.

NEUTRAL
信则灵,完全尊重别人的宗教观
但是很讨厌去强迫别人信教的信徒>_<

I don't believe in organized religion.

我这边（澳洲）很多人信基督教和天主教，不过我不信，始终不能明白那些人的想法

我还是中立的啊～

for me, I think religion is just a belief that helps one to calm their mind when they feel uncertain or loss in their life.

Religion ought to be praticed by one's own will, not by force. If by force, people will be against the religion that he/she is force to pratice.

Anyway, I think everyone has their own right to choose their own religion.

在异国好像宗教是很神圣的，人群里宗教的不同很容易造成彼此的矛盾。
我以前小时候跟大人们信天主的，长大后就觉得没有什么大意义了。
