Spirituality and the future of Religion

Nowadays there is some reservation concerning anything that is associated with religion and it is often stated that religion is responsible for war and the abuse of human rights. It ought to be pointed out, however, that it is the misrepresentation of religious teachings for selfish purposes that has led to justification for wars, persecution, abuse, etc.

We live in an age when the nature of religion and the nature of its spiritual foundations are being re-evaluated, but let’s not ‘throw out the baby with the bathwater’. New understanding can lead us onwards to new levels of global spiritual culture and to a new vision of the ‘brotherhood’/ ‘sisterhood’ of humankind and of all beings.
