All websites support your thesis. It's a well known fact that religion has a major impact on society and the law which governs the society.\n\nHence why we need Hindu Law, Muslim Personal Law etc etc...

I don't know about religion but as far as relationship goes, It is very important to have a close relationship with Jesus Christ. And I mean you repent and as for forgiveness from God, and follow Christ. Christ is The Life and without Him there is no LIfe.

Religion always played a role in the wars between men. The last prime example of this was the WWII belt buckle of the Germans that meant "God is with us".

Christianity  diminished by denominations? Jesus came to earth to free us from religions. He wanted to teach us to have a personal and life changing relationship with God. I think denominations or non-denominations are making Christianity stronger because if you do not like the worship style, you can change your church. I think that where ever is yout church, it is important to start to serve at that church and not to be just church consumer. Make your church stong with your own contribution of service, time, skills,money, help and love. I belong to non-denominational Christian church, because I want to serve God and have my teachings from the Bible. Religion is almost a bad name, word.

At times, religion has been misused, and wars and conflicts have been carried out in the name of religion—and still are today.\n\nBut does that mean all religion is bad, and nothing good has ever come about through the actions of religious people? No, of course not. Think of all the hospitals and educational institutions throughout the world that have been built in the name of Christ. Think too of the major social movements that were sparked by devout believers, such as the antislavery crusade or the movement to end child labor. For centuries Christians have sought to put Jesus' command into action: "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31).\n\nThis is why I invite you to look at Jesus Christ and see for yourself what He taught. Yes, at times people have distorted His teachings and misused His name. They have forgotten Jesus' warning to Peter: "Put your sword back in its place ... for all who draw the sword will die by the sword" (Matthew 26:52).\n\nBut when you look at Christ as He is found in the pages of the New Testament, you will realize that He was unlike anyone else who ever lived. The reason is because He was God in human flesh, sent from heaven to deliver us from our sins. Don't let anything keep you from Christ, for only He can give us hope for the future.

Religion plays a part in the choices you make in voting, just as every other part of who you are plays a part in every decision you make about anything.\n\nEverything we learn, experience, and believe in molds our decision making.

Church fathers changed the Scriptural mandate for traditions of men. Nowadays folks blindly follow instead of obeying the Bible.

it all started with the protestant reformation brought about by martin luther.  you can read more details by typing in protestant reformation or martin luther into a search engine.  the catholic church took exception and thus the protestants somewhat broke off from the "non-catholic christians".  also, the christians do not acknowledge the apocrypha or "between the testaments" writing that the catholics do as holy scriptures as part of the canon used in worship.

An essential part of being a Christian is being a =community=, i.e. the Church.  Christianity is not simply a set of beliefs.  The community of the Church, in all its diversity, has a common history and part of that history is the canonization of its Scriptures.  IOW, at a point in its existance (about 300 years after Christ) the Church came to recognize certain writings as sacred and others as not.  Though this was not universally agreed upon (some parts of the Church recognize the inter-testament books, some times called the Books of the Apocrypha), for the great majority of Christians in the West the canon is closed.\n\nRe. the Gospel of Peter, earlier does not necessarily mean closer to the truth.  FWIW, the Gospel of Thomas is gaining authority among moderate/liberal Christians.\n\nBTW, many of the church "fathers", Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, et al., raised serious questions about what the canon included. \n\nGood question!
