Today, fewer and fewer people have faith.
It is very likely that after this generation there will be no religion that can span across Europe, most of North America, Australia and Asia.
This phenomenon is not necessarily a problem.
But it is worth thinking about why people originally made up religions.
And what are the needs and hungers we are doing to make people do this.
On the one hand, the purpose of religion is to ask us to believe in certain things.
And when people say they don’t have faith, they tend not to touch anything about religion.
And often point out the terror effects caused by religion,
Whether it was caused in the past or still continues to happen.
But in a sense, faith is almost the least important and certainly the most boring part of religion.
The most attractive thing is actually other things involved in religion.
For example, religion regularly brings people together.
And surprisingly, tell people to be friendly to each other.
Religion also creates a sense of community,
As a host, make sure your grandmother and children, big bosses and small people
Learn to pay attention to understanding each other, rather than treating it as an abstract and difficult entity.
Religious use of the ceremony to instruct us and let us deeply remember it.
For example, the seasons are constantly changing and when it is time to remember our ancestors.
When is the moon the most beautiful?
Or you can start over by repentance.
Or having food on the table is actually a wonderful thing.
Religion understands that we are not just intellectual creatures,
So it cautiously invites us to love through art and beauty.
In some categories, we will think that the pursuit of beauty is insignificant and too superficial, and truth and depth exist at another level.
But religion brings them together.
It has built temples, cathedrals, and mosques to convey deep and important ideas through beauty.
Use art to remind us what is important
Religious art is of preaching significance
The purpose is to let us feel
calm
mercy
Awe
We may never have faith
But the need and desire are for us to continue to make up these stories.
We are very lonely
And also very violent
We are eager for beauty, wisdom and goals.
We hope not only to live for ourselves.
Society tells us to direct hope to two areas
Pursue romantic love and successful career.
At the same time, it also distracts us with all kinds of news, movie entertainment and consumer goods.
As you know, these are hard to satisfy us,
Even after the time passed three in the morning.
We need to remind ourselves to make ourselves better.
Need a place to remind us of awe,
Arouse our conscience and act less selfishly.
Eternal things need care like delicate flowers
And the ceremony brought us together.
This is not a choice about religion or secularization, as it is today.
Our challenge is to learn from religion
So, we can embrace the beauty of the religion while integrating into the world.
The challenge is only now
