For most people the reality is bitter. That is the reason why media like cinema and TV have their hey days in today’s world.

Superstitious ideas and poverty are the two main causes for the bitterness seen among people. Religions cause disturbances throughout the world due to alienation they bring about. Ethnicity and castes also are a major source of friction between different sections of people. When all religions preach love and compassion how is that that they fail to unite people of different faiths? Religious teachings are not followed in true letter and spirit. Religious rituals and customs associated with religions are seen as a means of following the religions.
We find that Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Sikhs give more importance to physical rituals and customs to exhibit their faith but fail to follow the human values such as universal brotherhood, love and compassion as preached in religious scriptures. This raises a serious question whether religions can unite people at all. Similarly ethnicity and castes have affected the lives and livelihoods of millions of people.
Man is still primitive. Religious doctrines have failed to change his selfish nature. Science has also failed to influence people’s thinking positively.
So, what is needed is to utilize scientific truths to dispel myths about religion, castes, ethnicity etc.
The following may be useful in this respect.
Evolution theory should be highlighted at every opportunity. People should be made to understand that all humans have the same origin and distinctions developed much later because of the survival instinct. Religions were developed by good humans to discipline primitive man but miserably failed. If religions had any positive impact on human behaviour the world would be free of conflicts by now.
Similarly castes in India have kept alive the discrimination and poverty. Mitochondrial DNA studies have established that the people of the world are a mixed one. This truth should be highlighted in schools and colleges to help the young minds to shed their myths about religions, castes etc.
The historical truth of mixing of different religious, racial and caste groups must be taught in colleges.

The objective world as we perceive it, is not the Reality and yes, it is bitter for nothing of it will remain forever.

Religion is there to return us to the only Reality - God and thus free us from the shackles of this bitter world.

Different organisations that call themselves "religious" are only partially, to varying degrees, successful in actually leading people towards God, away from the false worldly, bitter "reality" and its fake compensations such as the media and science.

God, how did he/she let so many have that name? God that is, it is said man invented near 4.000 of them, and just about every one it is said created all we see, does that say then God let us hate and kill each other in his/her name? could we,, in time, become one humanity if we had no God?

Dear Belly,

«it is said man invented near 4.000 of them»

Man only invented that many REPRESENTATIONS of God in order to have more convenient access to God - and will continue to invent more representations as the need arises. God Him/Her/Itself is neither of these representations.

«could we,, in time, become one humanity if we had no God?»

You cannot become anything that you not already are. We are all one anyway, for we are God.

sorry Ezhil evolution is the most irrational superstitous belief system one could find. You need to learn the simple fact that saying lies often enough does not make it true. The history of those embracing such a death culture speaks for itself. In the West we murder millions of unborn by ignoring biology and simple truth. Evolution just allows man to think he has his own destiny in his hands. Visit any cemetry and you will see the stupidity of man's arrogance. Talk about the belief in fairytales.
