I. The role of religion in our life.
Religion can be explained as a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency or agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
Religion is not only a necessary but a very significant part of our lives. Most people would find it very difficult to live without religion or spirituality. A lot of time, money and contemplation have been spent on religion. A look at some of the most ancient and beautiful buildings of the world have a religious significance. Ancient tombs, churches, cathedrals, synagogues, account for some

    This abstract reading written by Robert N. Bellah, introduces the idea of a “Civil Religion” and argues that, apart from the normal religious traditions our nation follows, there is an unrecognized “Civil Religion” that becomes evident during national crisis or during high public ceremony. According to Bellah, “there actually exists alongside of and rather clearly differentiated from the churches an elaborate and well-institutionalized civil religion in America.” Bellah points out many different examples to prove his point of how “Civil Religion” has been expressed throughout history. First Bellah points out that every president since Washington has mentioned God in his inaugural speech. Next he points out that the presidents did not refer to any religion in particular. They did not refer to Jesus Christ, or to Moses, or to the Christian church. Last a significant point that Bellah makes refers to the Civil war and “Civil Religion”.…

    Religion has had a profound effect on numerous events throughout the course of American history. The Civil Rights Movement was not withheld from the influence of religion, particularly Christianity and Islam. Many of the key players such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, who were devoted to the cause of justice and equality for African Americans, gained their passion from their spiritual roots. Through these religious leaders organizations were established to fight for civil rights. It was through these religious men and the religion of blacks that the fight for equality gained enthusiasm and courage to fight oppression and discrimination. Opposition also came from religion, however. Reverend Jerry Falwell and the white supremacists of the Ku Klux Klan, who fought against the Civil Rights Movement, based their justification for an inferior black race on their religious beliefs. The Civil Rights Movement, by the people and parties involved, was in itself a battle of beliefs.…

    It is human nature to want to be part of a group. People seem to naturally gravitate toward groups of people who share similar backgrounds or characteristics. In fact it is beneficial to be part of a group; much of a person’s identity or sense of self depends on identifying with other like minded people. When people first started coming to America from other countries, many people were looking for religious freedom and ever since America has been open to different religions. Situations such as going through a stint of slavery and later segregation of African Americans and Whites, America has grown as a country to move past it and accept not only African Americans but all different races of people. Many countries would not be able to accept the differences of people from other countries and of other countries, and would even start a civil war just because of a different religion present with in that country. This, however, is not the case in America and Americans.…
