AppEal To oNe And aLL

This is a sensitive issue to touch but it needs serious introspection and rumination. The development and progression bells are ringing here and there but often a terrorist attack stops us from dancing to this bell's tune. When everything seems fine and mirthful, often a communal color is given to an issue and the region starts burning. Whenever we talk and practice science and technology few myths still cling on to us and stop us from being rational and lucid. Every such disturbing and distracting act takes shelter behind RELIGION.
Right from ages, many wars have been fought over it and till now we are bellicose. Lakhs and crores of innocent people have lost their lives and many have been sidelined just because of their religion. Whatever positives have been given by the religions, has been overwhelmingly shadowed by the negatives. So the question arises why do intelligent and socially active humans need religion as to choose their way of life? Why can't we live being humans rather than being a Hindu, a Muslim or a Sikh?
The problem doesn't lie in the religions but its followers. There are very few who follow and preach religions correctly and with purity. The world now can survive in 2 ways. Either we follow our religions peacefully and fully or we reject them fully.
We at least shouldn't fall prey to the pseudo religion followers known as fanatics as they exist in each and every religion and are parasites to their religion and the healthy, peaceful world.
A sincere appeal to all is that, please act and think humanly, rationally and shed bestiality and pietism.
