Thank you for sharing your perspective.
I understand that many people feel this way because of how certain individuals or groups may have misused religion throughout history. But it’s important to remember that the actions of people do not represent the core teachings of any faith.
Most religions—whether Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, or others—actually emphasize peace, discipline, kindness, and protection from harmful habits, including alcohol.
If some people caused harm in the name of religion, that is a misuse, not the purpose of religion itself.
My point in the post was simply that almost every faith warns against alcohol because of its proven physical and social harms, and this shared teaching shows a universal concern for human well-being.
I appreciate your opinion, and respectful discussions like this help all of us understand each other better.
