AB JOURNALISM 1B WEEK 10: ASSIGNMENT

Do you think religion is important for the modern world? Why or why not?

Religion is crucial for personal growth and spiritual fulfillment, as it allows individuals to
exercise their faith and beliefs, leading them closer to God and guiding them towards the right
path. It is important in the modern world, but not to the extent that one shames others for their
religion. Regardless of one's religion, as long as it brings them closer to God and directs them to
the right path, it is acceptable.

Religion plays a significant role in an individual's life, enabling them to be a better

individual and contributes to spiritual fulfillment, moral guidance, social connections, and cultural
identity preservation. It also provides comfort and solace during times of adversity or personal
crises. Religious organizations also often engage in charitable and humanitarian work,
addressing social issues and helping those in need. Religion also addresses fundamental
questions about existence, life's meaning, and the afterlife.

I strongly agree that religion is important up to these days since many have been
concerned or should i say the curiousity of the people nowadays arise every now and then.
Considering the rise of atheism in some regions of the world, religion continues to have a
significant influence on the lives of billions of people, influencing their beliefs, values, and
behavior.
