This is very important to know some basic points on religion before in depth analysis.
- What is religion.
- Why is it required.
Then you will have answer to all questions, also you will have minimal gap among all religions. OR the gap can be totally eradicated and bridged.
1. What is religion.
It is the way of life set by the CREATOR. Simply it is the full guidance to follow our every aspect of life from birth until death. With this guidance only, we will be able to success in this world and in the next world which is for ever and ever.
So when all of we say there is only 1 God. Also we believe in death and the life after the death. We call it as Swarg and Narak.
That is paradise and hell.
These above are the common belief of all religious groups.
So how can be there more than 1religion. First we close this question then only we can talk anything on the topic.
2. Why is it required
As it is a full guidance, it shows right path to success in this world and the next permanent life which is after the death, where there will be no death again.
The status of that life is based on our performance in this life.
Once the God has created us then it is HIS right to test us whether we follow his instruction in his so called religion. It is required for us to know whether we follow we follow his religion as per HIS order OR we don't follow it as per his order.
Therefore it is everybody's duty to find out where is that true, right religion which will make us successful here and hereafter.
Christianity and Islam has the close link. these 2 religions can be merged easily, if some efforts are exerted.
