2004. Religion has been the single most significant influence on human life. It is so today, and it will remain to be the same in future.

There have been many experiments with Atheism attempting to separate or remove the influence of religion from human life. Proponents of this attitude did not identify themselves as Atheist for the fear of initial rejection by the society that thrived on religious sentiments. They hid themselves under the guise of philosophers, socialists, secularists, evolutionists, communists ... They largely came from the intellectual class of the society, who taxed their little brains a bit too much to get thoroughly confused themselves about the existence or nonexistence of God. Being intellectually inclined they possessed the natural flair for influencing the common people. Their views populated over the print media, and later they took control of the electronic media. There is a folly in their thinking. They tend to ignore the basic human need for relating itself to its roots. As a result, though impressive in their overall presentation, these atheists fail to bring under their little tent the vast majority of the human folks.

Therefore, it is only prudent that we make a serious attempt to understand religion. These days a large majority of people seem to make a living by teaching or preaching religion. That brings vested elements come into play. In the process, the image of religion gets distorted. It is high time that we stop blindly following our preachers. We have been given a head over our shoulder, and it is expected of us that we use it. No point simply mortgaging it to the professionals.

2007. Religious teachings have influenced the thought process of the human race since time immemorial. It happens today, and it will continue to happen till the humanity exists.

When such teachings sink down to the heart, they shape human feelings/emotions, which in due time get translated into human actions.

When we refer to documented accounts of such actions, we call them history. And we know that history repeats itself. As and when it does so, we call them current events.

Therefore, religious teachings, history and current events cannot be analyzed and interpreted in isolation.

As religious teachings, history and current events are connected through an invisible thread, I attempt to help you with a vision that could penetrate through the smoke screen and look beyond. For, that is where you find the Truth.
