Religion Is More Than An Idea

In this video, Clayton Christensen talks about how important religion is - not just in our daily habits, but in our government as well.

If we take religion away from our society, everything will collapse. Religion is what connects people in the world - even if they are of a different faith, we respect them. We know that they are dedicated to what they believe, and that is very honorable. My favorite quote from the video is: "If you take away religion, you can't hire enough police". The government is actually ruled by the people. If they (as a whole) chose to revolt or not obey the laws, the government would useless. The reason people are okay with being ruled by a leader and their laws is because they not only feel a sense of duty to their country, but also to their God(s).

I believe that if everyone read their religious texts at least most of the time, the world would improve greatly.

I know that religion is a very important part of the world today. By holding fast to what we know to be true, we can help to make the world a better place.


I have a testimony of this gospel. I know that it is true and that we can return to live with our Father in Heaven. I know that we have prophets on the earth today. I know that by learning and living the teachings of the prophets we can become better people and become more in tune with the Spirit.
