what is religion ?
The definition of religion according to Oxford dictionary is "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods."
The Wikipedia tells us, "Religion is a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, morals, worldviews, texts, sanctified places, prophecies, ethics, or organizations, that relates humanity to supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual elements. However, there is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion."
Religion was never meant to abolish the supernatural realm of humanity, people ought to understand religion as it binds people in set of rules and takes away their freedom, but as what I perceive its the whole other side of what we understand in one go, we need to analyse things and see for ourselves what is better for us.
