Waheguru Ji Ka khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fathe

in answer to your question - many people say that religion is the route of wars etc etc

in simple the answer is, religion is not the route of wars, Mankind is.

Man has taken it upon himself to get personal gain no matter what, which is why religions are so corrupted.

Gods message is universal, the deviations between the messages we see in differetnt religions, are not god made, they are man made mistakes in interpretation. (some people interpret in a diff way (sometimes when they know its wrong), for recognition or personal gain in some way shape or form

Religion is a medium to remember god, not the only medium.

God is manifested in all aspects of a sikhs life, as my Guru Ji says "Ootath Bethath, Harr Harr Dhiyaye" when you stand up, when you sit down, you should recite the name of god.

Also Guru Arjun Dev in Sukhmani Sahib, tells you all the diff ways to remember god,in return for what he has given you. (i'll leave that up to you to find)

hope I never offended anyone, Bhul Chuk Maff

May you all obtain god and salvation

Khalsa is the lords, Victory is the lords.

(REPLY) Sat Nam. Yes, it is people who pollute and dilute and use religion as an excuse for wars, persecution, discrimination, and hatred. SP
