Religion

The word religion evokes a profound sense of meaning that is unique from one belief to another. Religion is a difficult word to define because of the differences between world religions. Monotheistic faiths look at religion as the belief of a creator that is both omnipotent and omniscient, or all-powerful and all-knowing. For others, religion is a well organized economic and political powerhouse. Other religious views are that existence is in the present communion with the divine or God(s) is in this natural world. These beliefs are sometimes polytheistic or ingrained with the notion that all things ‘this world’ are divine. Nearly all religions agree that humans have an innate sense of morals and what is good. Essentially, every world religion explains the concept of a divine force or creator through the concept of bringing order to chaos. If the word religion was to be defined in general terms, it could be described as an interaction with the divine that results in experience with the sacred realm.
