religous perspective on the meaning of life

knowing how much religion has an impact on society imagine how it has an effect on our question whats the meaning of life. well the religion im working on is christianity and its a religion that is centered on the life of jesus christ like judaism and islamic religions. christians follow a book known more as the bible.In spite of important differences of interpretation and opinion, Christians in the Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant and other traditions share a common faith. Although Christianity has always had a significant diversity of belief on controversial issues, most Christians share a common set of doctrines that they hold as essential to their faith. ( wikipedia ) now knowing something about christianity what type of impact it has on the question what is the meaning of life well i think for religious people they believe that they came on to this earth due to god which is supposed to be the great ruler of earth and they believe that it wasnt for him no one would be on this earth today. but as you can see with many religions like christianity god has put us onto this earth but with what purpose and leving all of us with a question of why are we here whaty do we need to do in this world in order to be in gods grace. but what i think even though i believe theres a god is that if theres a god why are there so many religions why cant there be just one religion that every one believes if theres one god and that leaves me confused at times.
