why can't religion reduce the rate of crimes in our society?
Religion: I believe religion is a practice that teaches ways of good conducts and we all tend to found ourselves in a religion. I'm so sure all religion talks about good that leads man to the right track, correction from evil, love for one another, peace. But we still come across killings and all sort of different crimes in our society. If the society should practice our individual religion which they tend to belong, i feel the world would be a better place for mankind
As our faces are different so are our hearts, the way we think and how we see things, we shouldn't use "religion" as a key to stop something that have been their since from the beginning of this world, the thing is humans are not afraid of God almighty just because they don't see the maker face to face, instead they (humans) fear the police, politicians and anybody that have the power to change things around them.
Haven't you seen where things get missing inside church, in the house of God during service, laptops, phones, money you name it, that alone would tell that religion can't put a stop to crime and other crazy behavior we humans possess.
