Demystifying Religion

Tweet

What is religions? Is it just having a Supreme Being whom you consider as the creator and the master of all? Is it limited to worshiping a God or gods only? These questions are the most common questions a believer would ask me after I was able to finish my subjects in Philosophy like Philosophy of Religion and Pre-Divinity and I provided them with some answers and we were able to share some insights and ideas. Now back to the main topic about Religion, what is religion? Religion is a way of life and not just merely on believing but taking risk on what you believe. Take for example Buddhism; followers of Buddhism didn't branded Buddha as their God but as an exemplar from which they follow his way of life because he is an Enlightened One for them. The same thing for Christians, they are followers of Jesus Christ but the only difference is that most Christians would totally believe that Christ is God( but for some sects, they believed that Christ is only a prophet because they don't believe in the Holy Trinity.) Religion is not just beliefs but it is more on how you lived your life which basically is influenced by your religion. So I hope this is clear to you guys that Religion is not just focused on God but on how you lived your life whether you are a pagan,atheist,Christian,Moslem,etc.
