Introductory Activity:
If your personality is identical with a specific religion, what religion are you?
(Write it on your iPad)
Now that you’re done with it, have you ever realized why education is vital
to man’s existence? First, we have to define religion first.
Religion
Religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power,
especially a personal God or gods.
Many religions have narratives, symbols, and sacred histories that are intended to explain the
Prepared by:
meaning of life and/or to explain the origin of life or the Universe.
(0935) 444 3582
422-9167 (150/153)
From their beliefs about the cosmos and human nature, people derive morality, ethics, religious
laws or a preferred lifestyle.
According to some estimates, there are roughly 4,200 religions in the world.
Many religions may have organized behaviors, clergy, a definition of what constitutes adherence
or membership, holy places, and scriptures.
The practice of a religion may also include rituals, sermons, commemoration or veneration of a
deity, gods or goddesses, sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trance, initiations, funerary services,
matrimonial services, meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, public service or other aspects of
human culture. Prepared by:

Religions may also contain mythology.

The word religion is sometimes used interchangeably with faith, belief system or sometimes set
of duties; however, in the words of Émile Durkheim, religion differs from private belief in that it is
"something eminently social."
A global 2012 poll reports that 59% of the world's population is religious, and 36% are not
religious, including 13% who are atheists, with a 9 percent decrease in religious belief from
2005.[5] On average, women are more religious than men.
Some people follow multiple religions or multiple religious principles at the same time,
regardless of whether or not the religious principles they follow traditionally allow forPrepared by:
syncretism.

Sect? Religion? What is the difference?

A sect is a subgroup of a religious, political, or philosophical belief system, usually an offshoot
of a larger group

Religions have Symbols too… like for example, Christianity Symbols:

1. Cross and crucifix
2. Ichthys
3. Alpha and Omega
4. Staurogram
5. Chi Rho
6. IH Monogram
Now, how about spirituality? Is it the same with religion?
Prepared by:
(0935) 444 3582
422-9167 (150/153)
The answer is no. Religion: This is a specific set of organized beliefs and practices, usually
shared by a community or group. Spirituality: This is more of an individual practice, and has to do with
having a sense of peace and purpose.

Okay, so how about religion and theology?

Prepared by:
(0935) 444 3582
422-9167 (150/153)
Religion is an unsupported belief in something supernatural. Theology is the study

of religious beliefs. Theologians try to explain the obvious contradictions in scripture, and the
sometimes obscure differences between sects.

Is religion and Philosophy of Religion the same?

Prepared by:

The key difference is that they are different epistemological positions — philosophy has a
system of logical principles in place to arrive at conclusions whereas many religions (such as
Christianity) allow for other sources of knowledge (i.e. faith).
