What is the purpose of religion? Is it to live your life in a certain manor, to please an enlightened power? Is it about the after life? Or "Karma, where the liberation account of each of us is credited or debited depending on our actions"(49)? I feel that religion, when not followed correctly, solely instills a fear upon us. Our Atman. Our soul. Whatever you'd like to call it. Its being bound by this random talk.
I see no difference between the Christians. The Muslims. The Hindus. As different as they may seem. They are not.
What is their purpose?
L-O-V-E.
I don't believe in religion. But i do believe in its purpose. I guess you can say I am religious to that. I live by it daily, doing what I love, what makes me happy.
Pi discusses the Christian religion. And says something along the lines of being able to be lost or saved in a few brief moments.
Religion is a safety. You can be save by anything or anyone. It's a choice to follow something you have no proof of. Because if it was never seen nor hear in the first place, how can you lose it?
Religion will go on forever, until all of humanity can realize they can save themselves.
