How is religion relevant in the world today?

Haisam

I think religion is very important today because it is easy to lose sight of the important things in life, like family, friends and community.  I believe there is a great focus on having wealth and position rather than on what it actually means to be a human being – people are judged by what they own and how they look rather than who they are.  In this sense, religion brings life back to the simple and really important things.
