Firstly I'd just like to point out the fact that this is an observation not an argument or an assault on religion or religious beliefs. Religious influence is mainly comprised at an individual level and society is very much made up of individuals. Because of many individuals who have lost hope and behave negatively, there are increased amount of madness and negative behaviour. If this increases, society will continue to suffer. If religious traditions are understood and utilised properly, individuals can benefit and so can society as a whole. Unfortunately, religions today place too much emphasis on ceremony and rituals. Today alot of countries face moral crisis and crime is increasing. The disciplinary powers of society have conventional methods to control crime. Religion can provide a self discipline, giving people a sense of individual responsibility. Therefore various religious traditions have an important and effective role to play in the modern world today.
