ABSTRACTION
Understanding the Nature of Religion
Religion is a cultural system of behaviors and practices that relate humanity to what anthropologist has
called an order to existence.
Understanding the nature of religion clears the questions in the mind of the learners between life and
death. It also gives a clear difference between the quotations “religious but not spiritual” and “spiritual
but not religious”.

Three Common Elements of Religion
All religions are an expression of a people’s response to the Divine.

others.

the religion, those who choose to be a follower or a disciple.
 Worship or Cult
- Refers to the way of worshipping, to the RITUALS that are practiced by followers of the religion.
- This is often a difficult element to describe, because it involves so many DIVERSE ELEMENTS.
 Works or Code

adherence to the beliefs.

Religion denotes “a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, usually
involving devotional and ritual observances and a moral code. Its focus is the content of one’s belief and
the outworking of that belief.
 Religion is the pursuit of transformation guided by a sacred belief system.
Spirituality is the quality of being spiritual and focus on the process of becoming more attuned to
unworldly affairs.

Definition and Nature of Religion

Religion is defined as “an organized system of beliefs, ceremonies, and rules used to worship a god or a
group of gods” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary 2014). It came from a Latin word religio which means
“something done with overanxious or scrupulous attention to detail” (Bowker 1997). This term derived
from the Latin verb religare which means “to tie together, to bind fast”.
Religion refers to any set of attitudes, beliefs, and practices concerning a supernatural power; theology
is a branch of study concerning the nature and purpose of god that may be undertaken or it is the
systematic formulation of religious beliefs.
Philosophy of religion is an important branch of philosophy that deals with issues concerning religion
that includes an analysis on the existence of a divine being or on sacred texts.
