RELIGIONS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON HUMANITY

Religion, has always played an important role in the life of the human being, is
present when making decisions and we could even say that moderates their
behavior when interacting with society.
The birth of religion began in ancient times and has been present throughout the
existence of man, since the fact of believing in some god or divinity makes the man
feel part of a group that shares his beliefs and customs.
Man has created his gods according to his needs, that is to say to be able to give
explanation to phenomena that happened around him.
Over time, more and more religions were created, each with different norms and
forms of worship, or created to complacency, because the rules they had were
created by their leader as they pleased.
Religion in politics.
Perhaps we might think that religion and politics have nothing to do with each other.
Unfortunately these go hand in hand and this has been this way since ancient times.
Most of the decisions that governments have made have been influenced by religin
and even had much to do with warfare.
One thing we must keep in mind is that while the church had sufficient influence over
the government in any way the conditions were better than for it, since the church
was the only one that was enriched.
So it is that: What was the point of the church intervening?
This happens all over the world. Every government has a religious influence that
perhaps no longer exerts as much power as before in its decisions but continues to
influence its behavior.
Religions mark patterns of behavior that are supposed to govern our lives as loving,
not committing adultery or fornication, forgiving, etc.
Of course there will be those who say that religion if it helps us at least to live together
in a healthy way within society. But then not all human beings have a common sense
that makes us know that it is good and that it is bad and how we should act.
Another thing we should perhaps take into consideration are the divisions that
sometimes create religion among people, since it is assumed that the church should
unify and not separate people.

In conclusion
Religion if it is something that makes us more kind or makes us have a godly fear
since they teach us that there is a being that sees us and asks us to act well, but
also I know that human beings could act well and without necessarily being
Religious, something that I could say is that I see it bad that the church or any religion
gets involved in politics.
As for the past that has the human being with religion, I have no doubt that the need
to believe in something, beyond us is something inherent in the human being.
