Religion: A Way to Over-Power the World

Life has taught people that money is something that they earn; time is something that they plan, but humanity is something that they learn from love and compassion. Being human is a simple and elementary human trait that really does not need certain scrutiny to consummate it. Everyone should consider humanity as an endless solution of shared observances and practices that go through the endless cycle of creation, preservation and dissolution for the betterment of social personality. Moreover, humanity is a memorandum of rectitude and calibration of one’s personality that act as a wireless connectivity of people`s convictions and speculations. It is a worldwide phenomenon that has played a crucial role in incorporating human culture, which instantly transform the human being into a cultured animal. For a certain coterie, humanity is an organized bucket of empiricism, experience, and practice, but for the rest it is a complex mixture of emotional feelings and attitudes towards mysteries and perplexities of life. Each and every person deserves the freedom for communicating and acting in the environment in the way they want; similarly in the world where we are living, everyone is given freedom by the constitution, but there is another self-made constitution so called religion, which has surmounted that freedom by its own dogmatic obligations and deranged rules. And this confinement of religion just proves one thing that no matter how smart, astute, and educated a person is, he or she must have to believe in something that has no existence. So, in sophisticated the word religion is the insane creation of some self-centered group of people with an intention of overpowering the world by using the simple concept of divide and rule.
According to the religious people, the purpose of a religion is to act as a medium for establishing unity, sovereignty and connectivity between peoples, towards the way of life by making people understand the basic principles of belief system, community, central myths, rituals, ethics, characteristic emotional experiences, material expressions, and sacredness. Religion also gives special emphasis on our way of connecting with the almighty and on people`s heedless effort of preaching almighty in the name of god and Allah in order to find a superpower.
When anyone talk about being a typical religious person then the only notion he/she is supposed to follow is to love the person who hates you, to help the helpless, to care for the family, to seek unity in differentiability, to bring happiness in other`s life and to do more and more in order to establish a religion of humanity. Real religion (Humanity) stands on the practicality of things and its teachings mainly concentrate on the questions of oneness with the focus on finding the way of minimizing others sufferings along with an acquisition of attaining a peace in the society. In the definition of a religion (humanity) there is no space for belief on the outer world and there is no need to give different name to one that never existed or ever will exist and fight with each other to prove this senseless supremacy of the one that never existed over another. Exactly this is happening all around the world in the era of Wi-Fi and Email. Honestly saying there is nothing wrong with any religion or any religious book and they deserve to be respected but the interrogation starts with the teachings and the texts written in books. The approach of these books toward faith and the devotion is not researched intellectually so, theoretically there is no way that an educated person is going to believe it unless he/she is compelled to do so by somebody (religion) either forcibly or by using god as a weapon . Humans are made to understand the language of love and togetherness but instead they care only about how they can overpower the rest of the nature and this trait of human being is in their blood because when people look around themselves they find that there are different kinds of animals found in this world but the weirdest of all of them is the people itself, the most cultured animal that is the human beings, who have got a highly domineering trait of dividing every single thing around them. Even taking the time in consideration, for other animals time is just passing away and they normally do not care about it, but the humans are not only controlling it but have also divided the time as per their convenience into years, months, days, and hours. They say that a time once passed never comes back, but at the same time they are celebrating their birthday and anniversaries every single year. For a person, it is easy to learn how a dog behaves, but it there is no way that anyone can even predict the next step to be taken by a most predictable human being. And similarly in the case of religion also people have just confined the meaning of religion into a boundary of a supernatural being, which is always keeping an eye on the whole world so, that a group of people (religious leaders) can use that supernatural being as a weapon to scare the people to gain control over the entire society and from here the religion really starts. 
A common example is the heaven and hell theory of religion. The religion says that god is having a set of notions that each and every person is supposed to follow and failing in doing so will take them to a place called hell and normally that list of things is always misused for the fulfillment of personal satisfaction of a group. By using this heaven and the hell theory those people (religious groups) literally compel us to follow a set of things by including those things in that list of god`s will. In other words, religion is all about the accomplishment of the self-satisfaction of a group of people by generalizing those personal motives in the name of god. And when a lot of groups come out with the same intention, then they have to name it differently that is the Hinduism, Christianity, Islamism, etc.
Something is messed up. There can be only two assumptions; either the god exists or the religion. If it comes to the question of believing on superpower, then to believe in one is okay, but the humans are not stopping here, they are even making it more complicated by dividing that in the name of different religion and moreover every religion claim to have a superpower, which created us and from here, nobody knows whom to believe and whom to not. 
Here in the 21st century, people are not able to find one planet similar to earth but each and every religion claims to provide a heaven after death. Now, if the world trust the religion, that taught them that god exists, then this situation is even super complicated because there must be one which has created other, either people (Religion) have created god or god has created the people but at the same time each and every religion admits that god has created everything. Religion says that sometime long ago in the past, the god send the messenger to the earth and even those messengers died for the sake of human beings. Here, one important thing that need to be taken in consideration is the claim of the religion to have the messengers of god, who came here to set the notion of life for the humans and made the divine plan as per our (the people) future needs that means they are the messengers of the god who came to this earth and set the notion of different religion and this assumption of religion clearly proves that the god is playing divide and rule game with us just like the Britain’s, who used the same formula for creating their legitimacy all around the world. Similarly, messengers gave the notion of different religions, so that different religions can fight with each other for the supremacy of one over another and the regime of god can continue. So, here either religion is fake or god is fake because there is at least one amongst them who wants to rule the world by dividing the people under the name of different religion.
When a religious people are asked about the existence of  god, then one common answer they always try to materialize with is that nobody can prove its existence because god lies in one`s faith and religion serves as the medium of connection between that faith and the ultimate power (god). According to the OED,” medium is defined as any raw material or mode of expression used in a connecting activity.” this proves that if religion really works as a medium between the faith and the god then religion really knows everything about god. Then it means that religion is an encyclopedia of god, it knows everything about god, where God lives, when and from where he came to earth, when he send messengers to earth and when those messengers died for us. Or in other sense we can say that religion knows about the god more than god itself and religion just use those self-made-facts and figures in order to make the people believe in God so, that their business of fooling the people can run smoothly without having any questions against the base of this business, which never has a recession period in fact in recession period this business is on its peak. At the same time religion also admits that God has done a lot for us, so, it is our responsibility to admire him in return. Now these things redeliver two other major drawbacks of a religion that is the worship and the prayer. According religion god is the powerhouse of a divine plan that means god is having plan of every-single-thing happening on this earth and when the religion says that everyone should pray to god for our better future, then we can say literally that religion is just trying to fool us because God is already having his divine plan and he is not going to mess up his whole well-established plan just for our few mins (normally people take ten men-half an hour to pray) of selfish begging. And again when religion says worship, then religion is trying to convince people to admire somebody who has done something for them. So, if anyone really wants to admire somebody, then it is better to admire sun rather than god because when it comes to the question of the sun, then a few practical things come to our mind, firstly it exist-there is no doubt about it because whole world can experience the sun every day, and secondly, it is fulfilling each and every basic human need that is light, heat, food, nature and really favorable climate that is unquestionably important for the existence of this earth. So, the worship of a sun makes sense as here people are trying to admire some realistic happening contrary to the god, where everything works on the belief of illusionary things. 
According to Avalos’s book, “Fighting Words, posits that religious terrorism is indeed caused by religion or, rather, that religion creates an imaginary supply of sacred resources over which humans contend. Moreover, the necessity of violence is often built into the very structure of religious commitment. The act of atonement in Christianity, the sense of revenge in Judaism, and the martial triumphalism of Islam all require violent acts to fulfill their religious images of the world. And in each case the result of violence is to bring the benefits of the scarce resources of spiritual blessings to the grateful perpetrator of the religious violence.” Now, even if the world starts believing in God, then the worst and the most dangerous drawback of any religion that makes everyone start hating it, is its inscrutability in terms of compact teachings.  No, matter what is the base of a particular religion, one crime that a religion always commits is its never-ending effort to increase the number of fans following just like Donald Trump. But it gets even worse when this ludicrous effort takes the shape of differentiability within the society. This personally crafted religion, not only create differences in the society (also called religious diversity) but also somehow treats the follower of other religions as an alien. When we take the expansion of Islamism into consideration than one thing that comes to everyone’s mind that how it expanded from Saudi Arabia (Birthplace of Islamism) to all over the world especially around almost everywhere in the Middle East. This question about the expansion of Islamism is actually in other way also an answer to this the question, because a religion cannot expand by itself therefore someone is responsible for it or there is somebody (typical religious leaders) who is teaching the people to expand the religion and peoples normally do it devotionally because they are taught by their religion that if you are helping the religion in its expansion then it means you are spreading the messages and blessings of the god  to other people deprived of it whereas the intention behind this kind of expansion is completely opposite and this effort of expanding the religion starts creating communal rift between two religious sentiments and is later always followed by the unintentional outcome like terrorism, which results into the communal riots and terrorism leading to the death of lots of people. According to The Montana Professor, “10,000 people has died after 2000 that is somehow related to religion.” And this is just the government data, in reality this number is even bigger. 
So, after going through all these issues, we figure out that something need to be done  to take us out of this irrational creation of our illusionary mind; the best way to do that is by combining all the religion in a single basket of humanity. As according to carl Sagan, “our planet is just a pale blue dot in the sky and when we are fighting with each other in the name of religion then it means we are just fighting for a part of that pale blue dot.” And this is exactly what the need of time is, we have to think beyond this box of separation on the basis of illusion in order to make this planet a perfect habitat for human beings. Our goal should be our belief in the human race to understand the core of our existence. We are united, universally by nature, the only thing we have to do is to adapt yourself to something that is already inherited in our blood. Fear, pain, death, greed, hate, division, negativity, etc. is just an illusion of reality that is nature and we the most cultured animal 'human', are infinite, just as the universe is.
