Question: A question from a point of view looking at multiple religion in our society!?
Religious people always say that an atheist is committing a sin by not believing in god!.
So let us take a 3rd person point of view, we are looking at this atheist, we have multiple religion in the background, and each religion have their own god
If this atheist is committing a sin, to which God is he actually committing that sin!?
Remember that being an atheist, he's not govern by any particular religion to begin with!.
What assumptions are being made by people when they judge an atheist to be committing a sin!?
If 5 different people from different religion says that this atheist is committing a sin, is he then committing 5 sins to 5 different religion!? And when he dies, he will have to answer to 5 different Gods!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Alright, anjana needs to calm down a bit, just saying but my answer:
From a 3rd person point of view it just comes down to what religion "got it"!. Who knows, we might die and find out that the Greeks were the ones who got it right and Zeus wont be happy!. What I mean is, assuming only one of the religions is right, seeing as how each one says that the others are not right, then an atheist could be offending more than one religion, though he could be offending more than one God if the religion is polytheistic!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
God is one and CAN BE ONE ONLY for all of us! To think on God and to pray him for peace in life is universal and all the religions say the same!. Though the faith in God is same but the prayers and rituals vary, people still fight on the streets whose faith is better! In fact, the God and religion are different things and the God can stay even without a religion!
However, the God with all associative things have all become highly commercialized and, politicized to have the power to demand the submission of people! Because of this people themselves, are highly critical about the religions and their leaders!
The concept of GOD did arrive with the good intention of changing the people to be good and to keep them same and to be HUMANE to fellow human being to keep the world in peace! So only we made THOSE POWERFUL PRAYERS TO THE LORD, to purify ourselves, everyday!
Understand that both the HEAVEN and the HELL are in Earth only and for the ONE WHO COMMIT THE SIN of neglecting the fellow humans LIKE PARENTS, WIFE, CHILDREN AND THE PEOPLE AROUND are definite to face the effect of HELL on earth and the one who is mindful on the well being of all will find the HEAVEN, right here in his life!
SO THE GOD YOU BELEIVE AND THE PRAYERS YOU COMPLETE MUST BE SENSIBLE AND MUST BE MEANINGFUL IN CHANGING YOU TO BE MORE HUMANISTIC IN LIFE IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS, TO CREATE THAT HAPPINESS THAT WE ALL WOULD ENJOY AS IN HEAVEN, RIGHT HERE ON EARTH!

I ANSWER TO MR!. DEEP THOUGHT, THIS WAY:
When I said the GOD is one, the multiple gods from multiple religions is OUT! But, you have the choice to follow the faith of any religion that you may find most suitable to you OR can just ignore them all and can have your own way to realize the ALMIGHTY to keep yourself as a good and humanistic soul to have that heavenly life on Earth!
If all of us do follow this, YES we all would enjoy heavenly life, right here on Earth itself!Www@QuestionHome@Com
