Note: The articles, is completely my perception and I do not intend to be subjective, but I do intend to be judgmental as I would narrate about a judgmental group of the society the “Atheist”.
Religion is a crucial aspect some believe and some don’t, few live with god while others prefer to be inclined with an ideology. In the Indian society religion gets much more diverse than expected. It can be used in many ways in India; sarcastically people may get communalized, nasalized, terrorized, use it for politics, and yes of course for worship.
The Atheist on the other hand is a set of individuals around the world who are religion – free, and disbelieve in the existence of god but that does not prove them as bad or people without morals. Rather they promote a broad sense of ideologies and democratize every aspect of their life.
The philosophy of Atheist or the pre – dominant Agnostics are not new to India, the irregularity in the portrayal of religion is been observed ever since the commencement of school of philosophy; in the 6th century BC the Carvaka school practiced “nastika” (Atheistic), the history of atheism goes relevantly way back when in the name of atheistic – perception, evidence, testimony, analogy and inference were advocated.
Promoting science, free contemplation and secular humanism is the most essential aspect that India needs today, making the world a better place and being hypercritical about the areas which are illegitimated may be a good practice but with so many things to fight about in this world isn’t fighting with god seem a foolish practice.
I mean, violence in the world is growing day by day, women are getting raped, murders are witnessed, people are getting robbed and the brutality of this world is indescribable. There is an enormous pressure on the mankind to retain the world. Moreover, in this world we fight for justice, for rights, for democracy, for peace, for sustenance, for life, and for mankind. When there are so many things to fight for, my question is what is the need to fight against god? Why is it to prove that god does not exist? Is it by anyway going to change the world?
My question may arise some cynical thoughts in your mind, or rather may address to your point of view. But my conclusion is that whether god exists or does not exist, whether theistic or atheistic, however our perception may be, we must live with unity.
The discernment is also true that in the name of religion there are several false practices and superstitions witnessed in the society. A recent case of a child been brutally killed at Sullia, contemplating that the practice will materialize is also reckless.
The conclusion is every religion urges to maintain humanity wherein religion is indistinguishable, superstition is imprudent.
Wrapping up, I am not preaching about religion rather, if the so called “atheistic” have a broader point of view they will understand that I am moralizing about secularism, harmony and unison.
Relatively individuals have a right to follow an ideology or do what they believe in, but instead of segregating and formulating new terms to fight on why can’t all unite and fight against the immoral in the society!
