How relevant is this concept in these days where technology is liberating mankind almost everyday.(faster than God ever tried ;) )
It is the most classical way ever invented to chain and bind human freedom and free thought.The irony is that,freedom and
free thought are not of big concern for most humans,we project a very casual attitude towards it,allowing ourselves to be
controlled and manipulated.
It has only managed to segregate humans rather than atleast remotely making us feel the same.Our DNA maybe 99.999% identical,but the biggest difference lies in the religious identity,do we really need to have this difference between us..it is one of the greatest blunders to be generated out of the brilliant thing that is our brain...what a Frankenstein,some of whose major contributions are creating hatred amongst people,war and bloodshed.
When a child is born, it is instantaneously attributed with a religion that of its parent's, how stupid is this,its very own parents curtailing its freedom.
All basic cornerstone beliefs of religion have been convincingly disproved by science,the beliefs of the church by Galileo and Copernicius, the omnipresence phenomenon,theory of creation(Intelligent Design) by Darwin,isn't it time we kick the concept,the most widely accepted "false belief" to the bin and establish a caste less society,where everyone is equal,we care,share and prosper?
Richard Dawkins(Inset Pic), the British ethologist and evolutionary Biologist who holds the Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford has always(correctly) maintained that belief about religious faith is purely a state of delusion or mental illness.

Religion is definitely an unnecessary way of labeling people. It might seem like it is a hindrance to our natural progression of gaining higher scientific conscious but I think, if it wasn’t for oppression of science in the dark ages, the stupendous growth we see today would have not been possible. After all, how many times have you not done something when you are specifically asked to not do!! :)..And Kepler, Newton or any other scientist being scientists would definitely get a huge high in proving the set of status-quo conditions as utter gibberish. Just imagine how you would feel when you get to tell the rest of the world that you don’t stand at the centre of universe but you are just a tiny speck in the cosmos. So in a way it might have spurned the growth of physics in the medieval ages..
Apart from this, any form of oppression always gives way to better opportunities eventually. But wars in the name of religion, whether 'Crusades' or current situation of the world or the Wiccan witch hunts are completely unjustified.
Interesting points,sunny!
its such an irony that Issac Newton was a devout christian....thanks to his work,now humans can do what only we thought gods can do....flying out of this planet to a new world.
