Religion for Dummies Assignment

1) Describe the reasons why people follow (or flock) to religion

to try to find comfort of submission that dismisses a risk or feeling of a risk, under something bigger and stronger, due to the fact that human being is weak mentally and physically.

2) Compare and contrast the following:
  • Religion
  • Philosophy
  • Spirituality
Comparison

three of them deals with how people should behave and why.

Contrast

belief in god is requisite for religion whereas philosophy and spirituality don't necessarily include the belief.
another contrast is that religion and spirituality have rituals while philosophy is all about reasoning.
Religion has miracles as a feature, where others believe in rational thinking.
no involvement of god such revelation is not available for others
spirituality doesn't require membership, mainly executed by personal system
