Welcome:
        "Religious people live longer than Atheist"             
           My opponent where you get this data

Religion is best:
           
               Why I am saying like this , I am opponent?, yes religion was best in older days, humans in previous generation may created religion.
 
Religion is worst:

             Religion is worst now, major terrorist attacks are due to strong religious belief, changes alone does not change. current religions are outdated . Religions are turned into scam, commercial.

            Whether religion reduces stress, stress is due to laziness, On that time we need to go to places for entertainment, or natural places. There is not much in a church or temple. it may reduce stress, but we cant explore anything from it, if we go trip we can explore many.

        Religious beliefs are always turned to superstitious belief, that is danger, Why we need those older, outdated religion?. we not using any older things.

       We want to create new religion that is science, one world, one religion. older religions are time wasting. Museums are temple for modern generation. We need to explore those things rather than wasting money on religion.

Respected pro:
                                 I already said religion was beneficial during our older generations, because in before there was no internet, communication, people usually work and fight , their free time is high. 

                                But nowadays religion is turned into commercial, business, many people spending much money in it even though they are poor, hereby I give following statistics.

. Spending on Religious Services:
  • Urban India: 5.7% of monthly per capita expenditure is spent on religious services.
  • Rural India: Around 9% of monthly per capita expenditure is spent on religious services.
  • Poorest 20% in rural areas: 7% of their monthly expenses are on religious activities.
  • Richest 20% in rural areas: Almost 10% of total expenditure is on religious activities.  
            From this we can understand , poor people spend 10 % of their earnings into religious , They are thinking religion and praying God make them rich , they don't trust their soul, these superstitious belief is very danger.

           People may kill people for their religion, In some religions  like  Muslims, some Muslims are very religious , they dot let their girls to work, higher studies , many restrictions to girls.
           
         We want religion, but not these older religion, religion should not be commercial, it must not intrude in our personal life. 

Gaining hope:
              " WE SHOULD NOT LIVE FOR RELEGION,WE MUST LIVE FOR OUR FAMILY"
Gaining knowledge :
              " WE MUST ALLOW GIRLS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE, NOT WASTING TIME IN RELIGION"
PURPOSE:
              "Living for our soul, not for others soul"


                        "Soul is the greatest God, Humanity is our one and only religion"
