Well, its country! I never wory much about religion. I always feel as a country it gives unity, but as a religion it causes a separation among people. So i love my country and always stays first. And among the youngsters, more of religion and caste, the patriotic towards country should arise!

First and for most is God in my life above all and everything and everyone including country. This nation will end but the gates of Hell can't end God's plan or government that is coming. I will always choose God first. Not religion that is about some man made organization. I do choose my faith and belief in God and Christ as his son and my savior. Amen

I love my country and my God. But I would prioritize my God first. I can't leave both but If I were to chose between the two... I WILL NEVER EVER GIVE UP MY GOD!

I'd choose neither, for i don't believe in religion, but i believe in one God. and i would choose my God over my nation, over anything that would try to hinder me from Him. Though i love my country so much, but i love my God more. My God loves me unconditionally, i am not just saying this because people in my church say this nor books say that He loves me, but i am saying this because of my experiences that so much proves that He is real, He is near and He loves us so much.

The welfare of my country comes before any religion, but some people think that religion is far more important than their country. Problem is, how can people have a religion if their country is in bad shape?

Off-course my Religion and country doesn't matter to you because the whole land is ownership of GOD so why go for a country before a GOD?.but GOD's will and his orders must be applied to your country in order love it and it should provide justice,wealth and equality to you as the best system if it have...! My faith Islam is not just a religion in which you only Worship GOD but ISLAM provides the way to live it with respect,dignity,prosperity,justice,equality.unfortunately my country was made for Islam but Corrupt,mischievous leadership embraced secularism & feudalism remained there as well to destroy it....!

Don't worry, I don't consider your question controversial at all . I'm an atheist, so I only can choose between the country and the country and... the country . I'm not really a very patriotic person, but it's nice to see that there are people who like their countries without being radicals

I agree with that. I believe we're still alive thanks to our motherland. But above all, I would still choose people I love than my nation and religion..I'm just a simple man who thinks love makes this world worth living.

definitely country first as we r here because of our country and then religion and that too i believe in all religion and respect them as GOD has never taught us to fight or kill each other which some religion people are doing in the name of Jehad which is very wrong and i think even good people in those religion should come forward to oppose them then only this terrorism can be eradicated fully

Hi friend, same here I am also proud to be Indian. Ofcourse Motherland comes first, and religion comes next. Many times my heart pains when i see people of different regions living in same country fight over thier religious, even after realising that it makes their country weak.

I would personally choose my country, because I just love it so much. I don't believe so much in god, and I don't take my religion too seriously... Happy myLotting

I believe that my citizenship isn't really in this country. i like where i live just fine, but as far as i'm concerned my kingdom is in Heaven with Jesus Christ. nations come and go, but God is always going to be there and I want to be on His side for eternity, not on the side of some passing nation that might come and go with the wind.

I am going to choose my religion. My religion teaches us things on how to honor the laws of the land. Our religion doesnt participate in any political issues. We build good relationship with the nation and we also support whoever it is that's going to be the leader. My religion and my country are two inseparable things. That's why I choose my religion cause it will teach me things that has something to do with honoring the country. And I hoe that if I will choose my country it will also teach me how to honor my religion.
