The tragic events that occurred on September 11, 2001 focused our attentions on the very important roles that religions play in the affairs of the world. These roles include people's relations with each other, future progress and civilization of the world. Religions may have both positive and negative impacts on civilization. They may influence people's physical and mental health, the level of their dignity and integrity, may change human value systems, they may influence the way mankind look into their relations with cosmos.
The above factors, together with more recent revelations of God (will be discussed in the text), I believe, indicate that the right time finally has come to put aside our evasiveness about learning the principal knowledges that we have not learned yet, and review all aspects-of religions as they merit within a global communication for the purpose of a collective conclusion for ourselves and others. It should be done in order to find a more secure ground to land for thinking freely with conscience, debate honestly with logic and proper reasoning about our knowledges, our experiences and our understandings. Then we should think properly and meditate deeply to be educated. After we go through these processes, we may be able to unify the subjects of science, psychology and religions.
It is clear that this grand unification has been a knowledge that all the intellectual thinkers and great philosophers have desired to learn and struggled to discover from the beginning of civilization. This modern progressive knowledge (or science), when fully understood, would be helpful to resolve and eliminate some of the hostilities and hatreds that have been perpetuated through the generations in history. For learning the fact about the progressive religions we should be strong enough to put aside prejudice, value judgment, and biased evaluation. Also, we should use the instruments of deep personal mediation and thoughts with open mind free from prejudice and biased attitude.
In this article I try to review and summarize the basic beliefs and values of main religions. As a result, probably we may come to the conclusion that the hostilities between the followers of some religions may not be directly related to the religion's teaching but are due to lack of proper understanding, and misinterpretation of them because of poverty of intellect, hasty judgment and insufficient information. Also, probably some are related to negative emotions including fear, jealousy, our anger and hatred.
It appears to me that our confusion about the reality of God and our lack of understanding of God and mechanism of his actions have dragged us down to argue about the lower level of intelligence and less important phenomena that are called religions.
In summary I would like to conclude that God is a remedy for our problems but religions are not. In other words, religions are much less important for our growth compared to the role of God in them. As a matter of fact, religions have been the instruments of God to establish his Kingdom. In this paper I have tried to convey the message of why we should believe that God is real and He is the source of our positive thinking, positive emotions and the energy for the cause of our evolution.
In order to understand the messages in the paper, we have to approach them as if they are theories. Realization, validation, experiments and mathematics may come to place automatically within our mind not on the paper. The issue is sensitive and important. It is more than just an ideology. Sometimes reading and hearing the words or watching the pictures do not convey the message. Understanding of the truth should be associated with proper feeling of thoughts. Enlightenment may occur if we put aside our negative emotions and skepticism.
