Strong culture permeating as intrinsic part of
personal and social life,; sublime philosophical concepts useful for life;
spiritual dimensions ( which only a few can or do really know -the rest
seriously try to grasp it through whatever they believe- be it in
sermons, rituals, prayers, worships, symbolisms of all sorts, listening
to talks, lectures and interpretation of sacred texts etc.) and social services
that care for other human beings and share with others whatever one can are the
aspects that will enable any religion to meaningfully function as part of life
and also to be voluntarily sought after
by youth who know life has many aspects
and things and each requires attention beyond and besides obsession with one
aspect of life alone.
Not any amount of scriptural justifications; not
higher number of followers; not abject appropriation to woe others; not
parading on past glory; not singing the refrain of claiming that one religion
or one scripture or one way of worship alone is great and the rest are inferior
etc.
Evolutionary reality and natural gifts and
disasters decide the course of life rather than the realities that we form and
frame as eternal reference points with absolute values, when ironically, our
life itself is not eternal but temporal, mortal and relative.
Many extremely strong and very logically appealing
anti-religious movements against many religions have been happening in many
countries against the respective religions being practiced there.
But being and becoming anti-religion is just a reaction
to excessive atrocities and activities irrelevant to present day life that
happen in the name of religion.
There are also nonreligious, wise and sane
individuals who have been contributing to human and social development without
the tag of any religion or claiming any credit or mileage out of religious
affinity.
