Culture & Religion.

Religion & Culture are two different concepts.
Indonesia is a great example. They follow Islam but keep their Hindu cultural identity. Islamic republic of Indonesia has Garuda airline,they have Ganesh image in their currency notes, Ramayana is the national folklore. Sita, laxman are common Muslim names in Indonesia. 

Every individual should be taught the lessons of  culture & religion from a young age.
I truly wish someone had stayed alive for 14000 years, just like the protagonist in the 2007 movie: A man from Earth. He could explain who was Krishna, Buddha,  Jesus Christ etc..

There are enough suffering and enough people to help out..for them food and home is the ultimate God and goal..we could very well think of ways to provide them their God.

People will find ways to fight for who is the creator. But they could agree on the point that as a human being, we should respect the creation, even though there is ambiguity on who is the creator..let's focus on the creation..let's love the creation, let us love the nature, the mountains, the animals, the sea, sand, vegetation etc..ultimately you respect the creator by safeguarding his creation.
