UNDERSTANDING THE
NATURE OF RELIGION
UNDERSTANDING BELIEFS
AND WORLDVIEWS
• Every individual sees and interprets the world quiet differently
from one another. This perspective is also known as
worldview which is a collection of beliefs about life and the
universe being held by people (The Free Dictionary 2014).
Belief in god or gods is found in almost all religions. There is a
good reason to accept that religion had existed during
prehistoric times and this has continued to the modern world.
Human life may have produced hundreds of religions and
belief systems in our entire human existence.
• Promotes Social Harmony - Common participation in rituals together
with basic uniformity of beliefs help promote social cohesiveness.
Religious activities can be considered as one component which helps
bind people together and reinforce their identification with a particular
group.
• Religion Provides Moral Values - It provides a systematic model
of the universe, which in effect determines organized human
behavior. By providing moral values, one is able to distinguish
right from wrong, good from evil. It also provides a system of
reward and punishment that administers and standardizes
people’s behavior in society.
• Religion Provides Social Change - Since religion is a source of
moral values, religion provides social change.
Different kinds of belief system:
• Monism – believes that there is no clear distinction between
God and the universe.

• Polytheism – believes that there are many gods.

Different kinds of belief system:
• Monotheism – also known as theism, believes that there is
only one true God who have created the universe.

• Agnosticism - denies the possibility for man to know the
existence of God.

• “Theology is a study, not a formulation of religious beliefs.”
• It involves the systematic study of the existence and nature of the
divine. It deals with the study of the nature and purpose of god that
may be undertaken using a particular perspective.
• “Philosophy of religion is not a branch of theology but a branch of
philosophy, and the person of faith can and do philosophize about
religion.”
• Religion may refer to sets of attitudes, beliefs, and practices
aimed at communicating with supernatural beings. People
may recognize a superhuman being controlling power (i.e. god
or spirit) that seeks worship and obedience from them.
Religions are frequently viewed as sets of ideals practiced and
followed by organized groups, spirituality involves one’s
integrative view of life that is more personal while affecting
the human soul.
• Cultural relativism is the idea that a person's beliefs, values, and practices
should be understood based on that person's own culture, rather than be
judged against the criteria of another.
