Media & Religion

People are very much influenced by the media and information that is sent through it. Recently Television has been one of the main mediums to send in formations to the audience. It has been many times taken advantage of to persuade and manipulate the audience. Religious channels are an example of taking advantage of the power of television as a way to persuade and manipulate the audience. If you run through the 450 channels in your TV, you realize there are more than ten channels associated to one religion that teaches nothing but extremism of that religion. There are channels for Muslims, Jews, Christians, and every other religion in the world. As if there is a competition that whoever collects more people wins. Debates, arguments, and wars about religions are all over the media and not just television but everywhere. Through the media each religion is trying to separate its people from the other religion to a point that it’s not religion anymore its politics now. Its influences on people are so great that you can feel the resistance of people religion-wise towards each other. Its influences on people are so massive that you can feel the separation between people of different religion.
Yet, there is no channel, no program, and no media that would let these people understand that no matter what your religion is we are all equal. There is no channel that would let people know that no matter what they call their god, we all pray to the same God. There is no channel that would bring us all together instead of separating us by our religions. There is no channel that would let people know no matter how many religions in the world, at their core they all teach us one lesson and that is humanity, equality, fairness, and that is the truth.
