False Religion
How false religion misrepresents God through its teaching
If God is love, why have so many evil deeds been carried out by religions that claim to speak for him? The simple answer is that these religions are false, and they misrepresent God. They distort his teaching, they hide his name, and they spread ideas that do not come from him
False religion has traded God’s truth for a lie. For example, many religions do not teach people God’s name, even though the Bible shows that it should be used. Some religious leaders also say that terrible events are God’s will, but that is false… God is never the source of evil, and such teaching pushes people away from Him.
How false religion misrepresents God through its actions
False religion also misrepresents God by the way it acts. Jehovah treats people with love and fairness, but false religion does not follow his example. Over many years, religions have mixed with politics, backed wars, and have been linked with the death of millions of people!
In addition, some religious leaders live in luxury while demanding money from their followers to support that lifestyle. These actions show that they do not know God, and they have no right to claim they represent him!
How God feels about false religion
If the acts of false religion anger you, think about how Jehovah feels. He loves people, yet he is angry with religious leaders who mislead them and treat them badly. He has said that false religion will be destroyed and will never return

Soon, God will bring an end to all false religion, and people will no longer be misled by it. That gives a clear reason to reject false teaching and look for worship that honours Jehovah in truth!
