Description
Religion is difficult to define. Everyone has a different idea of what it is. Most people simply look in the dictionary or use something else equally simplistic. That might be fine for everyday conversations, it isn�t sufficient for the sort of discussions that appear here. Religion is a human creation and as such can vary as widely as human imagination allows.
A religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence. A critique of Geertz's model by Talal Asad categorized religion as "an anthropological category. Many religions have narratives, symbols, and sacred histories that are intended to explain the meaning of life and/or to explain the origin of life or the Universe. 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.
