Step-by-step explanation:
Religion is a set of beliefs and practices that help us understand our place in the world and the divine
Religions can be broken down into large categories:
Monotheistic or Polytheistic
One God or many Gods
Universalizing or Ethnic
60% of people belong to a universalizing religion - which appeal to people worldwide
25% belong to an ethnic religion - which appeal to just one group in one place
15% have no religious affiliation
This might include:
Secularists - people who want a separation of religion and other areas of society
Agnostics - people who believe that the divine is unknowable to humans
Atheists - people who do not believe in a God(s)
In any faith a person or group can be categorized as fundamental , meaning strict adherence to principles and guidelines (there are instances where this can lead to extremist actions)
Some countries are so involved in religion that the government is run by religious rulers, theocracy
Universalizing Religion
Also known as global religions or proselytic (convert others)
Have precise origins and have diffused from those hearths
Holy sites tend to be associated with the specific founders
These religions tend to have a similar creation story ( cosmogony )
Calendars and holidays tend to be based on the life of the founder
These faiths are usually connected to central leadership
Exceptions can be seen in Protestant Christians and Muslims, who tend to have autonomous religions and self-governing congregations
There are three major universalizing religions
Christianity, Islam and Buddhism
Sikhism and Baha'i are smaller examples
These religions are divided into sections:
Branches - large fundamental difference within a religion
Denominations - division of a branch that unites groups
Sects - Small group that has broken away from a different denomination
