Religion - Sierra Armstrong

Religion has always been in existence. Whether it polytheistic, monotheistic, or even magic. We need religion to explain what we do not understand. I think that the status quo supprts religion because religion is has been around forever. Most of the time it is not going to change. You can't just change religion over time. For example the Catholic church doesn't change just because the community has its changed. The church isn't going to change for one little thing. People have followed their religion since they were born, and that religion probably hasn't changed much since it was started. I would say that most religions are conservative. They prefer people to dress conservative and act proper. There are some instances where religion has been radical. The Catholic church used to make people pay to receive forgiveness so they could go to heaven. Some Muslim women are required to be accompanied by their husband or a male family member to go out in public. They also maybe required to be completely covered up. Either way religions are conservative but they also radical tendencies.

  1. Religion and the truth of religion are two completely different things. Religion is important because it provides many with rules for living based on fear and the threat of eternal damnation.. The law also provides these guidelines. Non-religious people have the same moral compass but not based on eternal damnation.
