People Act by Their Beliefs and Religion Choices

People act by their beliefs. We tend to be influenced by a particular individual when difficulties hit our lives. Now, what is the origin of belief? Imagine that at early ages, we learn things from the people we meet and interact without clear interpretations. With a lack of experience, a child can easily take what he or she learns as "gospel", especially things that satisfy his or her wants and help him or her overcome obstacles. For example, a child might believe that sweet treats can make his or her sickness better. Then we grow up, step out of the community where people have different notions and judgments, our “gospel” is then questioned. At that time, the beliefs we carry on in every situation in life are challenged. We can either choose to open our mind to correct the “gospel” or fight to protect it. If one chooses the second option, arguments will take place.

Morality is a product of one's belief. In case that a person chooses a religion to be his or her reliable core, morality is set up by the bible. They believe in the existence of heaven, the help they might get from the magic of God, etc. According to each religion, bibles are written differently and logically leads to differences in people’s moral senses. Throughout human history, there were religious wars which allows people to fight and supercharge their religious belief. However, it is a nightmare that sometimes charlatans are leaders with lethal aims that drown the followers in racist, sexist and phobia soup. In such situations, it is barely escapable for the followers.
