Is religion really legit? Should they tell someone how to live their lives? How to act, speak and otherwise how to be? Should Religion be so strong in everyday society?

Theology is a very vast subject.Religion actually started from thngs,SOCIAL.For example remove all people from a religion,and what have you got? So there can be as many religions as there are societies in this world.Viewed from this point of view it is LEGIT!But if it is used to harass a person or society,it cannot be accepted. Being religious is nothing but being social.But fanaticism has given a different colour to it. Psychologicall being religious(having faith,OPTIMISM),are good.Hence there is nothing wrong in being GOOD,in a socially oriented way.Being " truly religious" is accepting all others(religions,people etc),without trying to impose ome's own on others.If such a thing happens one has the right to protest!

Religion is too each person their own belief. They have a right to it and no one has the right to say different. Respect your fellow man as you wish to be respected.

Religion is purely personal and it should be indoors. There is no need for exhibitionism. The relgious leaders might have prepared do's and don'ts. If one feels it is better to follow, it is fine. Sometimes, some directions are required to guide our destiny. A bit of listening is useful.

There are as many answers to the question about the ligitimacy of religion as there are people to share thier opinions. Religion and the expression of such is and always will be a topic of debate. Everyone has thier personal perspective and point of view about religion and from my personal view: a person should be able to hold thier beliefs as they see it to be. Now,, posing or imposing to others can be invasive and rude, and so a bit of tact and consideration is always a good element to include where discussing this topic. Keep an open mind and give a listen to others. Also, stand your ground and be yourself first. It is impossible to be something to everyone and if you cannot be true to yourself first, then you will never be true to anyone else or, to any religion for that matter. So keep to basics, and hold to a strong foundation toward your religion of choice. Simply, it can be a weird world we live in. And, it takes every kind of person too.
