Religion
Religion serves essential role in the lives of many people, the influence of religion is evident in the lifestyle of many people. Due to this apparent influence religion is used as a tool by many people to influence the lives of other individuals. This quotation describes how religion is used for political gains.
“Over the last several decades, too many political leaders – Democratic and Republican – have preyed on our human group dynamics that tend to blame the “other,” and have exploited our anger, prejudice and insecurity for electoral gain” (University, 2016, n.p).
The quotation carries deep meaning as it mentions both the right wing and left wing parties and how they use religion for their political gain. They blame of various missteps that the government takes on other people so that they could get out of the problem without being blamed for their misdeeds. Politicians exploit these emotions that are linked with the religious views of different people. I chose this quote from the article because it is most relevant to the reality of the present time.
Religion is not so important for some people, but it is still essential for the less religious people in time of need. The two quotations are linked with each other as politician use this belief of people for the political gains.
"Although my religion is not so important to me, at times of trouble my thoughts go automatically towards religion. A feeling of helplessness makes me submit to God Almighty" (Khan, 390)
I can relate myself to this quote because I am not so religious, but when I am in trouble and find no way out of that trouble, then I can relay of God Almighty. I know that when everything and everyone fails me, I can rely on God to show me the righteous path. I don't want people to use the religion for their gains because it only spread hatred among humans and never yield positive results.
The question of a great concern can originate from this situation of religious exploitation.
“How do a person even combat the hate originating from the religious exploitation in the society?”
