The Relationship between Religion and Individuals’ Character
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Religion is often defined as a set of beliefs that explain the world and the universe. Religion is generally born out of culture where members of the culture create a system of beliefs and values. They also establish symbols that represent the belief structure and hold special meaning for believers. Religions can be divided geographically. Every religion, depending on which part of the world it is in, has its own traditions, customs, beliefs, symbols and history. Religion can be categorized as world religions, indigenous religions and new religious movements. Today, the largest religions include Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism. Some religions are considered to be universal because the laws and values can be adopted by anyone. Other religions are unique to a specific group. Religion can be belief-based or it can be based on practice. Many of the large religions have organized behavior. There is often a clerical hierarchy, congregation, meetings and services for prayer. Almost every religion has designated holy landmarks or architectural sites. Many religions are based on and incorporate the use of text or scriptures. The fundamental understanding of religion is that it provides a way of life for believers. However, for individuals, religion and spirituality are more than just a way of understanding the world. We hope to not only provide practical, and historical information about religions of the world, but to also examine what each religion means to its followers.
