The real benefits of religions

This morning on the way to office I had to wait 40 minutes longer than usual to take the bus. The bus did not arrive and I heard from people who had the same destination there is actually no more bus for the route of mine. I used a share taxi to office and on the way the complaining expressions erupted by the passengers who including me were four.
An old woman about 70 was seating in front next to the driver who was in his early 60s. A man around 40 next to me and an around fifty years old woman next to him. We, the passengers were criticizing the state men and the urban directors for their negligence towards people. The woman in the back said they (she meant the authorities) use bullet proof cars but for common civilians there is not even enough bus for the daily commuting. The old lady in front asked us to stop criticizing and pray to god to neutralize all the ill mannered persons who have bad intentions for people and put their curse back to them. I explained to her, " this is not politics, we talk about our needs and necessities to live as citizens of a city". The driver started to talk and said, "For retired pensioner there has been only %6 raised this year". I explained, "Yet we should thank god that you are healthy and can have a second job". He replied, "neither am I healthy, I had an open heart surgery last year and now when I use the belt I will have pain in my chest". I did not understand if he meant car's seat belt or some device needed for aftermath of such operation. The old lady started a long prayer asking God to eliminate the enemies and so on in a semi ritual religious language denouncing the act of stealing from people . The driver added, "I do not think this can really work. In our village years ago people exploited a rich man's properties who formerly was a senior official. They took over his lands and distributed them among themselves. They also allocated a part for public cemetery. My father in law was the first one buried there. But then later people reconsidered this decision for the fear of god punishment for their dead ones and did not use the land as cemetery anymore".
Taking something unlawfully without persuading its owner is considered a sin in Islamic values.
He explained further by saying, "We the family proceeded to an Ayatollah to seek ways how to take my father in law's corpse. Since this is a sin to exhume a Muslim body from the grave".
Now, I was to take off the car. I was thinking about this strange phenomenon! How about the houses they built on this exploited ground and prayers made to God in these houses and the children made and borne in its rooms? May be, I thought these religious values only conform with the death issue and will not comply with the living things.
