Is religion important in today's society?

At first glance, we might be living in a secular society. However, I believe that religion plays an important role in today's society. I’ll talk about why I think so by using two reasons.

First, religion tells us the importance of life/the meaning of life through ceremony. For example, 80% of funeral services in Japan are held by Buddhism style, 10% of them are held by Christian style. In both ritual cases, the meaning of death or brevity of life is preached to us. We are living in fast-paced environment. But for this kind of occasion, we would tend to forget the meaning. I believe that religious ceremony could give us the opportunity to look back, reflect brevity of life and root of individual.

Second, influence on education or moral fiber. It’s no exaggeration to say that religion plays a crucial role for personality formation. For example, I can relate to my private experience. I graduated from a Christian University. The subject related to Christianity or the Bible is mandatory for graduation. I used to reluctantly attend the class. But one story significantly impressed me. That is “good Samaritan Law”. This story citing from the Bible implies that we should voluntarily help a victim in distress. Since then, I make it a rule to support those who need help such as physically handicapped people.

In conclusion, religion has great impact on today's society.

We should be chary and discriminating in all the intelligence we give. We should be strikingly prudent in giving information that we would not dream up of following ourselves. Most of all, we ought to escape giving recommendation which we don't tag along when it damages those who transport us at our word.

To be a upright charitable being is to from a make of openness to the far-out, an skill to trust unsure things beyond your own restrain, that can front you to be shattered in unequivocally extreme circumstances pro which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly important about the fettle of the righteous passion: that it is based on a corporation in the uncertain and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a treasure, something fairly feeble, but whose very item handsomeness is inseparable from that fragility.

I have been browsing on-line greater than three hours these
days, but I by no means found any fascinating article like yours.
It's beautiful value enough for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the net will likely be a lot more helpful than ever before.
