I wonder if religions are supposed to make us petty minded. Back in the day religions or systems that defines a way of life, were supposed to aid people live together. Unfortunately, human progress and ambition ensured that even though humans practised the same religion they were given opportunities to wage war against each other. One has seen this in Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. Historically, religion has also been used to govern and as an excuse to conquer and subjugate. Today what we see is a similar conflict between practitioners of different religions. There is a desire for one-upmanship of one religion to the detriment of the others. However, in today’s secular, democratic and syncretic society, purposeful recidivism will open the door to kalyug.
