                                                 Religion and People's beliefs

Religion is not a recent notion. Back in the time our ancestors used to believe in gods. They adored   the moon, the sun and some special objects. They did not have a specific God like the modern people. they did not believe in a supreme being who is God. They worshiped several gods at the same time. However that was considered as their identities or  their beliefs. In this essay I will talk about, what makes people believe in religion and why is it  so important for them to partake to struggle to death for their beliefs . At the end I will try to give my opinion on that subject.

According to Emmanuel Joseph, a Haitian sociologist, the religion is only established in order to maintain a system that has no logical basis,where faith is the only truth. This system governed by people who are called prophets or presidents or sometimes ran by a group of people.There is no way to prove faith. It is something you can feel when you put yourself into an immaterial spirit or soul. Every religion has its own doctrine and always tries to have certain principles which often different from each other. For instance, Mormons or LDS people believe that their prophet received the first vision because of his faith. He prayed and he found the truth but, in reality only him knew if he was right or not even if the legend talked about witnesses. Then the Bible talked about the prophecy of Jesus Christ the son of God, however the Koran on its side gave a story totally different  from the Bible. Since that moment, human  being is in trouble, keeps looking for the truth via the religions. Today the worldwide shares more than  one thousand religions and each of them came from main religion based on faith. For example, Christianism generated Catholicism and Protestantism came from Catholicism.

Why human beings believe in religions and  why are they  ready to die for their beliefs?
Human being is paranoid and at the same side gregarious he has to live among his pair in a community that can call  a society. The society always leads by a powerful leader. For those people who live in that society, most of them believe in him. Depending on his influences people are capable to do anything  to be close to him in order to share his power. Obviously they are ready  to die to protect him.  For example, nowadays despite of internet, people in North Korea still believe in their leader not only as a leader but as their god. This belief came from directly to their attachment to their leader because they don't hear about something new that they can see as a model to imitate. Because of the lack of information, they don't know what is wrong or good about religion. They never have chance to interact with other people in order to make inferences. However, despite  of that I still see people's beliefs are different and are not sharing same religions. In fact, people in general believe in what they are  used to, traditions that their ancestors have handed down to them. For instance, I grew up in Haiti, without a doubt I believe in the Bible just because since I was born that was  the only thing I  heard from people around me and it is the same for a person who is  from Saudi Arabia,  India and China. So, one time ,a person believes in his religion he becomes sealed in his thoughts and he is ready to die to defend his beliefs because his faith becomes his identity.

Conclusion
The respect of each other religion, is a way to show respect for your own religion. I think the most important part in a religion is about Faith or The blind side because there is no way to prove it, however     it is the base of all religions. I  believe in God not in religions, the reason because religions have been created by human being and human beings are synonyms of imperfection and greed. they can't create a perfect thing because that ability belongs to God.
