It says in the Writings that if religion should cause unity. If there is not unity that it is better to have no religion. This sounds good to say, but would we as Baha'is willing to back up this tenet by our actions? Certainly we can all agree that in Iran religion is not the cause of unity. We say we should renounce religion if it is not the cause of unity, but the Iranian Bahai's would not, and are not allowed to, renounce their religion! Since Baha'is aren't allowed to renounce our religion how can we say that it is better to do away with religion if it is not the cause of unity? I don't see how this makes sense.
