Religion’s impact on society today is obviously enormous with many countries having adopted theocracy throughout the centuries as the law of the land. The influence of religion comes to mind when one considers its flaws. Religious association has its share of critics regarding its effects as well as its compatibility with science. This article shows that not only is religion incompatible with science but is incompatible with philosophy. Books like the Bible and the Koran do not answer the deeper questions in life like the nature of reality and the nature of the mind.
These are subjects which have been studied by philosophers in both the East and West, the notions that have a significant impact on our lives and thought up before the newer teachings of Christ. This article will compare mainly Eastern philosophical notions, along with some Western ones to the lessons in the New Testament, a supposedly more advanced tone taken than the violent and aged Old Testament. This all missing from biblical texts is why religion doesn’t help one personally beyond hope, comfort and a sense of community, as we will see.
