Religions often preach goodness and morality, both of which can help in self-improvement. The problem is when we conflate religious beliefs with moral goods, and attempt to impose them on others. In a diverse society, tensions and disagreements due to religion are even more likely.

the many different religions practiced in Singapore definitely add to our diversity. but a downside occurs if we are not tolerant of one another, or too closed minded. because of the close proximity of many religious buildings to each other, it can either breed harmony, or can very quickly devolve into riots etc like in the past

I feel that the nature of diversity is such that people are different from one another. These differences may cause friction in our society but celebrating these differences and honouring our unique past is the only way to truly be us.
