أكيد رجال الدين هم بصروا العالم بوجود الله ، من أجل عبادته وحده لاشريك له، والابتعاد عن عبادة الشيطان

It seems so... but it also seems that followers tend to distort the original teachings, and then, create a lot of attachment to that or this particular theory, creating an us versus them mentality.

I believe religious leaders have been more helpful. They gave people reason to behave with kindness and justice. Philosophers did not do well in politics (eg Plato, Marx ...)

I feel that we should be careful that we do not idolize or worship people no matter how they impacted humanity. If it had not been for the living God, none of them would have been able to perform religious acts or write the many statutes we hold dear that has helped this world to be a better place. Let's give praise and glory to Almighty God who raise us pioneers and patriots in the world so that this world may experience not only the peace of God, but the love and fellowship of God.

I dont know because the question is wide and difficult. The better is perhaps to expect to the day of the Last Judgement.

The religious leaders are helpful.

Yes they are helpful, because the substance of all Religions is to worship God the Creator, but I think that many peoples in different times misunderstand this fact.

It is a symptom of post-Enlightenment thinking that you assume the two can be easily dealt with as separate ways of looking at the world. All the early philosophers on which later philosophy is based were people with religious views. Beware of looking back at the history of ideas with today's spectacles. Today's secularism is not reflected in the ideas of thinkers of the past.

I dont expect efficiency or utility from religious leaders, but salvation, lights for a honest life, and practice of human brotherhood.

Although secularism is not clear in the past, the construction of knowledge that bore no connection to religion, that is gods or religions did not construct ideas, .then secularism played an immense part in the construction of religions. Universal love for example is a secular motif. That Plato had religious ideas shouldn't take us away from the object of his belief, one without clear ethics, which he attempted to supply. The idea the religions have always harboured ethics is nonsense and vividly seen as such in early Hebrew religion, aspects of Christianity and is strongly evident in Islamic moral justification for holy wars. The connection between religion and ethics was a fairly late development. and was a process begun by secular thinkers not religious ones.

I really like Rene Girard, who says that the Gospels have worked on the morality of Christians since the beginning of Christianity. ”Worked” means they gradually educated the Christians.

Dear Daniela, aspects of christianity have affected modern society but those aspects although practically improved upon by Christians came mainly from Greek secular thought. Isis religion, a pagan cult originally from Egypt but appropriated by Greeks, contained many Christian elements and may have preceded Christinanity in terms of hospitals and social care.

Christians took their message, The Way of Life, throughout the Roman Empire and targeted the poor and vulnerable but in part to gain converts. Their social institutions were indeed revolutionary and we owe our own to them.
