What is religion?

Dad what is religion, it so confuses me I know about church is that all it can be? I sing the songs and listen to stuff But watching the tele this isn't enough Sweatheart it's another one of those things Steeped in tradition with all that brings We must remember, there are many beliefs From Buddhists to Islam, Jewish and Sheikhs Dad why if they're good, why do they fight I see it in history they all think their right How can killing be good, surely that's wrong Bombs and murders how can this belong Sweatheart it's not easy, emotions run high Maybe they need to reset, ask themselves why There is good in us all, that is for sure Maybe we need to expect so much more Dad so which God is the only true one? The one true God from when time begun It has to be wrong to have all this fighting How can good cause all this evils igniting Sweatheart God is in each of our souls Goodness and friendship must be our goals Each religion has true love in its heart Everyone must find it, before they depart Dad I think I get it, regardless of religion We need to see love and not just Division Some extremists have forgotten this love They are in need of guidance from God above.
