What do you think of religion(especially Islam)?

What do you think of religion? play an active or a passive role? Somebody says that radical Islamites are the biggest trouble makers ,do you agree that? As to me , I don't believe any religion,but have no objection to other's believing in anything that was not harmful to stability of society

I think that religion must play a passive role in society, I think that religion is a personal belief and every one has the right to practice it in his privacy and show it to others if they want, nevertheless I also think that the State, the education system, the laws and the judges must be laic. I think that it give us the guarentee that the society will progress without the restriccions of the ancient beliefs of a religion and it will answer to the needs of the current days. Religion impedes the social progress and often the scientific progress.

When I say religion, I 'm not refering to the values or ethic of something, I mean the Institutionalized religions…I don't know if I believe or not In God, what I'm sure is that I don't believe in "important persons" which tells everybody what God says or it means (muslim imans, christian bishops etc)

regards 

I can't agree more

salam Asian Man;

wanna ask you something ? what if you believe in something that there is a creator , Allah / God whatever it is, dont you ever think you would be happy,satidfied and feel safe  ?? ı wonder when you get bored , depressed or feel happyto whom you thank or to whom you ask for some help friend ? ı strongly advise you to believe in Islam , maybe not believe for now but read some islamic reliable  articals maybe the best one of course Quran dear;or if you think that it would be boring to read ,just try to listen or watch some videos (about muslims, about the ones who return to Islam. maybe you can find your answers to these questions then

thank you for your time .

I am very clear what you have said ,but it's a little absurd for me to believe in god that was only a imagination creation. The gods most of Chinese worship were almost historic characters ,such as famous poets ,heros ,decent  politicians .

All these historic characters have  good virtues that people should learn and have

well it seems more absurd to think that we came out of nothing… 

The law of China has guaranteed everybody has a freedom to believe in any faith that  is not considered as evil organization,but there is a prejudice that youngsters who believes in religion are thought as conservatives

cmon, you dont really believe that, do you?

Of course you have religius freedom in China, but in China, not in East Turkestan or Tibet.

I must say something necessary  to you, Tibet is one part of China .In our country ,minorities usually can get more profits from goveronment policy, for instance,I have two elder brother while more than one child is not allowed in han people families
