Related termsFrom Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A religion is an organized approach to human spirituality which usually encompasses a set of narratives, symbols, beliefs and practices, often with a supernatural or transcendent quality, that give meaning to the practitioner's experiences of life through reference to a higher power, God or gods, or ultimate truth. It may be expressed through prayer, ritual, meditation, music and art, among other things. It may focus on specific supernatural, metaphysical, and moral claims about reality (the cosmos and human nature) which may yield a set of religious laws, ethics, and a particular lifestyle. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction. "Religion" is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system," but it is more socially defined than personal convictions, and it entails specific behaviors, respectively.

It considers psychological and social roots, along with origins and historical development. In the frame of western religious thought, religions present a common quality, the "hallmark of patriarchal religious thought": the division of the world in two comprehensive domains, one sacred, the other profane. Religion is often described as a communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system of thought, unseen being, person, or object, that is considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine, or of the highest truth. Moral codes, practices, values, institutions, tradition, rituals, and scriptures are often traditionally associated with the core belief, and these may have some overlap with concepts in secular philosophy. Religion is also often described as a "way of life" or a life stance. From Wikipedia under the

If you are unable to find religion courses at any local college or university, look at religious studies programs that offer online course formats. Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA is one that comes to mind. Regent is a fully accredited school that offers both ground and online classes from a Christian perspective. You could also look at on line formats within other faith based schools, if you are looking for a particular faith/denomination, by doing a web search. Then talk to your school's financial aid office to see if it is possible for you to have any options within your fa package to cover the tuition at another school with concurrent enrollment.

Q. I'm writing a term paper for my Christian History class, and the question is "How important was religious zeal in the military successes of the Crusaders?" Does anybody know of any good websites or books that discuss this? Thanks for your help! Asked by Mrs. Chip - Wed Feb 20 15:49:21 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. it was very important. it was the whole reason for the crusades. the christens thought they were better than everyone else and thought Jerusalem was theirs. the crusades resulted from that religious tension. look at The Crusades were a series of military conflicts of a religious character waged by much of Christian Europe against external and internal threats. Crusades were fought against Muslims, pagan Slavs, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites, and political enemies of the popes.[1] Crusaders took vows and were granted an indulgence for past sins.[1] Answered by Q Q - Wed Feb 20 16:00:16 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Religious"
