Religion could be a pale reminder of the past and also a source of hope for the future. Religion has been mankind's way of fighting against nihilism from time immemorial. In life, we are faced with many metaphysical problems, or problems that we cannot solve, and religion helps us to provide solutions. Human beings need a faith to help them answer all the questions about the unknown, and that faith is religion. It is true that some religious teachings are no longer in line with contemporary human thought, but it is undeniable that the core of his spiritual support for mankind will always remain the same. And in the new religions nowadays, by interpreting different versions of the New Testament to develop a point of view arguing that religion is in the process of atheism, and this is in line with the development trend of the world's universal beliefs, but also for the future of the people also provide new hope. In this paper, I will be arguing that religious adaptability to modern humanistic values and its enduring function as a source of existential meaning make it an indispensable framework for many. This is a philosophical and conceptual inquiry, drawing from theology, reform history, and contemporary philosophy.
