This is the way of true religion

Every good religion teaches about peace, love, unity, tolerance, endurance etc.
Every person who claims they are religious and not associated with these values is a liar and a hypocrite.
Presently, if we are to live together in peace, conflict is definitely not the way to solve issues. If you have an issue, put it forward and let those in relation to this issue reason it out in addition with a third party if the situation calls for it.
Oppression and suppression belongs to hatred. When you fight, you would be fought, when you kill, you would be killed, when you love, you would be loved. You always reap what you have sown. Never expect to be loved when you rule with wickedness. Yes, there are problems, challenges, amongst us especially in this present age; people seem to be gaining virtues whiles others seem to be losing theirs.
Preach about love, let people see that need for your religion, or your solution, let people reason and understand why they should let go of what they have and join concur with yours. Show them what they can’t get from others but they know deep inside themselves that they need it.
Religion is to build in us a godly life, but if it teaches otherwise, then its purpose has failed and ceases to be a religion.
Let people around us see that true light in our religion that shines in the darkness of the world, let them hunger for the virtues found in the true religion because of what they have seen in its followers. Let them hunger for God in the religion.
Let us love, be peaceful, be kind, tolerant and teach love one to another.
This is the way of a true religion.
