Singapore is multi-rational country so having all the religious together is what makes Singapore what it is now

# data[].attributes.body
The religions practiced by different races makes each one of us unique and would definitely help to ensure Singapore's multiculturalism and make our community more diverse.
One downside would be that some people may gather or crowd towards people from their same religion, which may cause some divide within the people.

Yes! I think it's very essential for us to understand the many religions that exist in Singapore in order to create a diverse and harmonious society where everyone is understanding and accepting of one another. it will open more doors for everyone too.

i respect their religion and will give them the space to practise their faith. although i may not align with some of their religious practices/beliefs, i understand their perspective and merits :)

# data[].attributes.body
ngl i wld want to learn more about it as i find it interesting to see how others may view the world due to their religion

# data[].attributes.body
the practice of religion in singapore gives the different religious groups their deserved space to worship and practise their faiths, and causes singapore to be a lot more diverse. however, the downside is that tensions and stereotypes could stem as ignorance to the many different religions there are in singapore. extremist beliefs are also rather prevalent with the advent of technology now, so it does pose a threat to our multireligious singapore

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the practice of religion in Singapore makes more people feel welcomed. However the downside could be that there might be conflict between some religions

# data[].attributes.body
Ofcourse I would let them be!!

# data[].attributes.body
i didnt have understandings about zoroastrianism so no misconceptions. but i knew that it had origins from very long ago and is a small community

# data[].attributes.body
it is important to learn the different religious because if we have friends from the religious we would know the things to do and not to do in front of them because sometimes we might accidentally to things which are rude to their religious so if we learn the different religious then we would the things we should not do in front of our friends

# data[].attributes.body
the practise of so many religions and beliefs does make singapore an outstanding and colourful society. however, there are times where one's religion is taken at someone else's disposal and displeasure. for example, the burning of joss sticks irritates my neighbours

# data[].attributes.body
I think the practice of religion in Singapore certainly increases the difficulties of policy making as the policy makers would have to balance the interests of people of many different interests

# data[].attributes.body
people tend to flock towards people of similar or same religion due to the idea of familiarity and as well as common interest, causing people of lesser known religions to feel left out

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, there were some misconceptions. As the presenter spoke about sinners having to face their punishments, I assumed that there was an afterlife for sinners and for people who did good. However, he cleared it up by saying sinners face their sins in this life.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I sometimes tend to behave slightly different with friends of other faith due to the fear of accidentally offending the other party. Due to this I will tend to ask around more about the religion so as to avoid any misconception and offence.

# data[].attributes.body
having a diverse society adds more color into our community and it helps make everyone safe.

# data[].attributes.body
Yep! It's important so that we don't make any stereotypes or make any snide remarks that aren't true at all. But other than that I think it's better to just understand one another better.

# data[].attributes.body
we need to put in effort to ensure all of us integrate well and don't have discord

# data[].attributes.body
The freedom to practice religion is important to people as it is a part of their identity or lifestyle and beliefs. However, having various religions in one country may bring about conflicts due to the difference in beliefs.

# data[].attributes.body
ngl, I vibe with their values and beliefs

# data[].attributes.body
it gives us a unique culture

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly i think it is a really cool concept that we have like so many religion living together because we can get to know each other's religion regardless of like how popular they are

# data[].attributes.headline
Learning and understanding the beliefs of another religion helps to widen our perspective and the acceptance in the community. So I feel that is is good for us to know about different religions to make an inclusive society

Yes it is important as many people have different religion and we should understand more so that we don’t cause misunderstandings and can live harmoniously.

# data[].attributes.body
i did not know anything abt this religion prior to the discussion and found it interesting how this religion had closely tied w other religions like jews

# data[].attributes.body
yes as we need to understand to be accepting and live harmoniously

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it allows us to understand how people of other religions think and because religions help to shape the believes, attitudes and morals of a person, we are also able to gain greater understanding to them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think its definitely important as it would avoid possible instances of conflicts arising from a lack of understanding of what they are practicing, which is especially the case in a very diverse singapore

# data[].attributes.body
i do not really act any different around my friends who do not practice the same religion. in fact, i find myself asking them about their beliefs in the hopes to find out more about themselves. During racial harmony day, even though I'm chinese, my malay friends invited me to try eating food with my right hand

# data[].attributes.body
no as I haven't heard of it

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, even if we are of various faiths, it is good to learn more about other religions so as to understand them. With better understanding, we can have better interactions and communications with those of other faiths.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important for us to understand the religion of others as that would aid us in getting along with them better.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn’t know about this religion whatsoever so I had absolutely no misconceptions about it

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is important to for us to understand other religions as there are many religions in the world and understanding other religions would make us feel closer to the people of those religions

# data[].attributes.body
yes, it allows us to have a deeper understanding of one another as individuals and as a larger community. there will be less doors that are closed and tensions among the different religious groups to promote harmony!

# data[].attributes.body
I'll try to understand from their perspective what kinds of practices to they carry out and if it intervenes with my lifestyle, I'll try to accommodate to their needs. But honestly speaking I genuinely don't really care what you're practicing as long as its not hurting anyone we're cool :D

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is important for us to undestand different religions, because this is a way for us to increase our cultural awareness and also we can better understand what influences one's behaviour and traditions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that understanding others religion can allow us to better understand them as a person so we can become closer friends.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel it is not very important to understand the multitude of religions in SG as most of us have our own religion we should focus on. However, we should understand that our neighbours need/want to practise their religion and never judge them for it.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that it makes the Singaporean community more diverse. Zoroastrians sound like very faithful people so they would be a good addition to our society considering what they have done for others in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
yes as it is impt to be able to understand others better

# data[].attributes.body
it is definitely important. religion is widely practised around the world and it also upholds who we are as a person and strengthens our national identity

# data[].attributes.body
it is important for us to understand the religious beliefs everyone holds, as religion shapes a major part of some people's beliefs and morals. Even if we hold other religious beliefs, learning and understanding respectfully from other leaders will help us to understand people better.
