What is Religions ?

Religion provide methods for making this reconnection. Spiritual practices suck as prayer and contemplation are universal method for leading the practitioner toward as direct encounter whit reality. Since reality (that with exists, independent of human awareness) is ultimately beyond word, religion is universally communicated though myths (stories that are symbolically, rather than literally, true) and the arts (architecture, music, paintings , icons, statues). 

How one perceives reality, both in and beyond the world, determines how one describes it and how one behaves towards it; thus the religious experience gives rise both to metaphysics and to ethics. 

In an increasingly multicultural world, it is important to as whether all the religions really contradict one another or wither the are simply different part leading to a single reality. Whilst it may be impossible to answer this question in word, it is possible to discern many comment elements behind the apparent diversity of the religions. Professor Minion Smart, Professor Of Religious Studies at the University of California, has identifier seven of these.

• There is central emotional experience - a feeling of awe, joy or peace.
• The religion are usually has a story of myth, sometimes written and sometimes oral.
• There is often a formal doctrine, an intellectual statement of the basis of the faith.
• The  is an ethical dimension underlying both the narrative and the doctrinal elements, this may be expressed as a law (such as the Judaic Torah), or by a simply quality such  a love.
• The is usually a social dimension, often expressed as the a formal organization but also including the shared reverence of outstanding members of the faith such as saints or prophets
• Lastly, the material side of the religion, expressed as the building of place of worship, as devotional art, icons and statues, and in the offering of beautiful object to the gods.
