In the world, people believe in different religions on the basis of various grounds. Every person has a fundamental human right to be a follower/ believer of a religion that exists in the world. On the other hand, people have a fundamental human right to be an atheist who does not believe in religions. Actually, a religion means a collection of belief systems! We all live in a heterogeneous society in which people analyse the world in different ways. Further, we all have a democratic right to scrutinise the issues in the world on our religious faiths/believes and so forth, but we have no right ethically or morally to persuade others directly or indirectly to join with us. I think the bottom line of all religions in the world is humanity, so it is easy for people to think about religious issues in a very balance manner without going to extreme ends. Thus, in this context, I feel that it is not necessary to highlight our religious faiths/believes always when we live in the society. I think that the most important point is “unity in diversity” or in other words, how to live together with peace and harmony respecting to all sort of cultural-religious-ethical differences in the world. If there is a threat to humanity, we all have to be against it as a single unit without considering our differences. So, I feel that the religious harmony means “we all have to look at this world with a broad eye going beyond religions boundaries.”I would like to invite dear friends, please make a constructive criticism (or positive criticism) on this issue. The world becomes renew and moves forward when different views meet together.
Good Luck!

Dear Camilla,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Yes, you are right! People are different in the way they think and so, it is said that we live in a heterogeneous society. One person believes one concept while another person believes a different concept. I think most important thing is “what we really practice in the world/society”, or in other words, how we put our concepts/believes into practice. If our concepts/believes are unable to provide practical solutions to burning issues of the majority in the world, I feel those concepts/believes are unsuccessful and on the other hand, if our concepts/believes are able to provide practical solutions to burning issues of majority in the world, I feel those concepts/believes are successful. If our concepts/believes enhance the humanity in a genuine way within a practical framework, I feel those concepts/believes are long-lasting and difficult to rub out from the world.
Good Luck!
