Hence role of religion is to promote rational thinking.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives and mark the correct Answer.

The two dominant features of our age are science and democracy. They both have to stay. We cannot ask demarcated people to accept the deliverness of faith without rational evidence. Whatever we are called upon to accept must be justified and supported by reason. Otherwise our religious belief will be reduced to wishful thinking. Modern man must learn to live with a religion which commends itself to his intellectual conscience, to the spirit of sciences. Beside that he should be sustaining to the spirit of democracy which insists on the intellectual and spiritual development of every human being irrespective of his caste creed community or race. Any religion which divides man from man or supports privileges, exploitation, wars, cannot commend itself to us today.
