Is religion necessary for modern living,,?

From what you have observed, it sounds like this prediction of the Bible has come true. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 (New International Version, ©2010) 1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. A good description of people today wouldn't you say?

No, I do not think that mankind need religion anymore, it is actually a threat to human race in this century.

Considering that Organized Religion has been around for almost 2000 years it has done very little to make our world a better place. Without science we would still be in the Stone Age. Religion is used as a Scam to make, and collect money, which explains why Christianity is the number one, Richest, most Powerful, Business in the World today.

This is all about check and balance you see. Without ignoring the other aspects of religion, it has firmly established itself as a counterweight to materialism. Where materialism brings lust and desire, religion promotes sacrifice and abstinence. When materialism provokes you to chase your goal, religion asks you to stay calm. Materialism gives you pleasure whereas religion brings you peace. When you are all stressed out by your material quest, religion will bring to you the lost joy. Each one has its significance. Religion can't give you all the material pleasure whereas materialism fails to grant you heavenly joy. I would say they are just complement to each other. If someone knows how and where to use which of them, he can be practically invincible. Materialism is the trend of modern world. The stronger it will be the more we will need the religion in order to counterbalance it's effect. Where one of them fails we will resort to the other. An integrated person will know when to be practical and when to be philosophical. We should rather use a perfect combination of both materialism and religion in modern world.

i don't think religions are important but that they are separating people, there are even crazy religions that don't allow people to marry someone who has other beliefs I mean what hell is that? where's the love, compassion and understanding that religion should be about? it's more like rituals and let's be clear, rituals even satanists do. i believe in God and in faith, the rest is not important. to become a better person, to open the heart to help even who we don't know and didn't even had to help

you can say its not necessary anymore but in time of catastrophe people always called their gods in each religion but for now human race are focus on developing things any related to science. they say that science is the counterfeit of religion which most scientist say that god don't exist so some of the religion is this day have forgotten to practice even then youth don't participate in some occasions base on their religions.

People still need something to bind themselves to a community with, actually more now than they did before. People travel and move far from their "roots" today. They no longer stay close to family and neighborhoods where they grew up. A religious group can provide the stability that a family used to provide.
