What is the purpose of faith?q

[Chikombo]

I'm sorry if I'm being offensive or ignorant, but it seems like a lot of famous atheists make the case that religion doesn't have any value or place in a modern society.

Not that that stops millions of people to be religious and to take it seriously, so I wonder if you had to define the reason behind religion then what would it be?


My guess is that religion has had some sort of moral authority in history, maybe it has also been some kind of thing that gives people meaning in life or something. I don't think religion is dying tbh, people seem to think it's gonna go away, I think it might go away for a while then it's gonna increase again.

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.


This would be the general definition.

 

[Melanin]

To make shit that doesn’t make sense, sense and what’s not possible, possible.

 

[Joon]

To rid ourselves of doubt and distrust.

Most people believe someone is out there who is looking out for us. We have some purpose in this world and higher being created this perfect world for our shelter and safety. Also mostpeople are still scared what is life after death it make people move towards faith and it becomes religions.

Ya religion was introduced pretty much to reign on human sanity and move towards cultured society. Without religion most people wont fear it could be possible our society could head into chaos .

Good summary.

OT: To give you objective direction, to teach you civility and liberty. To teach you the rule of law and protect your from the laws of man. To bring order to chaos and most importantly to guide you to your purpose(God).
