Humanity Not Religion. HoL 125
Humans of Lagos
"When I said I am irreligious, he asked: "So what moral do you want to teach the pupils?"
My opened mouth only oozed of the stale smell of my frozen mind.
He felt justified for calling me out. My colleagues, cowered on their seat at the rising terror of getting a rejection from the project under review. All because of me, this deal is falling through.
The man cleared his throat so loudly it blended with the humming of his office air-conditioning system.
"Without religion, evil will be so much in the world. And human freedom will lead the world quickly into an irredeemable destructions." He boasted like a conqueror of the battle of the hades.
He won the round. I was too disoriented to make a sound.
Before we got dismissed for the day, the man asked us for another meeting in which we should all be religiously inclined and represented.
"You can go now," He ordered.
I regained my senses before I gathered my defeated ass out of his rickety office chair.
So I said, "Thank you sir, I think I need to buttress your points."
He leaned forward to hear me out.
"Not again." A perplexed colleague whispered like the roaring sound of a hungry Lion.
I couldn't care.
"I will teach the pupils humanity. Humanity that will make them see that love is what binds us all and not religion or race. I will teach them humanity with ethics for them to treat others with fairness and empathy. I will teach them non-judgmental
humanity for a peaceful world. I will teach them humanity that will work very hard at saving the world."
I got the Proprietor speechless and muted for about 2 minutes.
Even though the deal is out of our hands, hearing my mind for a better humanity is a duty I owe my conscience.
Live and Let Love."

Love is the basis for all truly but that doesn't mean religion should not be practiced and also religion teaches us to love one another
