The word religion comes from the latin word religare : to join, or link, classically understood to mean the linking of human and divine. What constitutes a religion is subject to much dispute in the field of theology and among ordinary people. We might begin by defining religion as a system of beliefs based on humanity's attempt to explain the universe and natural phenomena , often involving one or more deities or other supernatural forces. Religious adherents tend to gather together to celebrate holy days and to pray , but solitary practice is also usually just as important. Most religions also have a code of laws to be followed, like the Ten Commandments of Old Testament , and some have specific texts they hold as sacred , and totally different from other writings. |
