What is Religion

First of all, note that your essay needs to be global in scope, and should describe religion in the most simplest and universal terms. You are neither asked to describe what your religion is, nor which religion is the “one true religion”, but rather how we might define the term “religion” in a way that encompasses as much of the human experience as possible. Thus, you should make an honest attempt to define “religion” is a way that accounts for all religions (as far as your knowledge permits) and not just a few, and not just your own. Be sure to defend your argument. Based on what you know, why does your definition of religion make sense? Concrete examples from several specific religions may help illustrate your argument.The early reading assignments in Winzeler should help. I will expect you to incorporate some insights from the readings into your essay.Be sure to use “introduction-body-conclusion” format.
