Religion

“Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opiate of the masses.”- Karl Marx. Why do people have to believe in God? Why do so many need “religion”? As early as ancient time’s man has always pondered on the purpose and creation of life, and looking back at those times, we see the presence of religion and beliefs in a deity or being of higher power. This belief stems from man’s never-ending struggle to solve the puzzles of life that concern purpose and origin. To many people religion is just a compass of morality and purpose which allows them to cope with the uncertainties of life and all it entails.
