We continue our introductory phase of our class, by speaking briefly on "What IS Religion, Anyway." We include some classic and personal definitions of what religion is, and conclude that religion comes from the Latin "religio," that means to bind together, or rebind what has been separated. Just what do religions bind together???

This time Chandler and Marc talk about the imaginary beginnings of "religion," NOT to discredit anyone's faith, but to portray how we "get" religion, how religion (whether good or otherwise) grows stronger, and how critical thinking may be your best friend to stay most true to one's religious practices.

Thanks to the Library at www.mhu.edu.

The Technicolor Dreamcoat of Religion series inaugurates with our first class, entitled "How Religion Gets Made." This is class #1, a critical thinking examination about how the imaginary becomes real, normal and, well, religious!!

If you like this, please tell folks! And kindly give us a fair rating.
