Thinking exercise: without using any resources or searches, define religion in 1-3 sentences. Here is mine:
Religion is a system of beliefs shared and traditions and rituals practiced by a group of people.
I've looked up definitions for religion before to argue with friends, so I might have a more dictionary definition. But I like my answer.
I'm listening to a course called Cultural Literacy for Religion. The course presented this exercise after identifying how terrible Americans' knowledge of religion is. Unfortunately the course doesn't give a clear definition. It presents common definitions and identifies the limitations and problems with each definition.
Share your definition in the comments!
