Can a Society Function Without Religion?

[Menaka]

Religion has historically shaped laws, ethics, and community bonds, but secularism is rising. Some believe religion is necessary for moral order, while others think society can thrive without it. Do you think religion plays an essential role in a stable society? What would a world without religion look like?

Yes of course, I believe that it's possible for a society and even the world in total to function very well without religion. Today, religion have more of a negative impact on people which is why I don't rate it high anymore.

We can say that religion has done a couple of negative actions on society, but it is the same religion that has helped to keep people in checks. Followers of most religions listen to their leaders in the congregation rather than listening to political leaders. So, do you imagine what will happen when religion is no longer there to bring that control?

I believe a society can function without religion. Secular societies like many in Europe show that ethics, laws, and community cohesion can exist without religious frameworks. While religion provides meaning for many, shared values and cooperation can thrive on humanistic principles as well.

Look at China and North Korea. These are communist countries and they don't believe in God. They are functioning since 75 years.

I believe that religion is seen as a means of controlling what is happening in the country. The government in power can implement it in calming the people down during economic downturn, and such move is what we should always have a look at.

I boycott china because that country has persecuted my fellow religiousmen. I do not buy products made in china. Unfortunately, china has captured the world market ND it is very hard to avoid products made in that pathetic country.

I do not think that a religious society could function without religion. Men were created by ALLAH ALMIGHTY and our creator has created a perfect role model and set of instructions about how we should spend daily life.

Humans should remember that we were created for a specific purpose. Earning money and gaining wealth alone is not the main purpose of life. According to my Islamic religion, real life begins after we die.

ALLAH ALMIGHTY sent many Prophets to guide mankind. The first Prophet was Adam and the last Prophet was Most Respectable of All Prophets, Most Superb of All Prophets, Most Marvelous of All Prophets, Leader of All Prophets, Purest of All Prophets, Imam of All Prophets, Leader of All Prophets, Best of All Prophets, Most Holy of All Prophets, Most Trustworthy of All Prophets, Most Truthful of All Prophets, Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu'Alaihi'Wa'Alahi'Wassallam Sallallahu'Alaihi'Wa'Alahi'Wassallam )

No matter how we would look at it, the animalistic tendency of many humans have been tamed by religion. I think any society without religion can easily fall into anarchy. A society can't do without religion.

Humans are capable of the extreme for all situations and actions. It is very important for an institution that they perceive is above them to hold them back from the extremes they are capable of. No society can exist with complete elimination of religion.
