@iamthemob “Faith and belief can exist without religious structures”
Yes, they can, but the oppposite is not the case. Religion requires faith and belief, being a muslim requires faith and belief, and this faith and belief provides a comfort that one isn’t a mere speck in an indifferent universe.
“Therefore, one needn’t adhere to one religion or the other to gain the benefit that you mention.”
No, you’re absolutely right. Your question, however, didn’t ask what were the exclusive benefits of being a muslim.
“So, each religion, in some way, must offer a benefit or can be beneficial for people in various ways that at least make it seem or feel different from another.”
How do you come to this conclusion? Why should religions be mutually exclusive to each other? Why would they, when they all have essentially the same product on offer?
