Interesting things
My parents are committed
Christian, so I naturally believe in Catholicism and I am interested in
religion because of this reason. I interested about how religion function in
this our society like maintain society
with social unity, provide purpose to society. And approach religion in various
way was interesting, too. Usually I thought main source that influence believing
religion is the country because country has unique culture so it can mainly
influence religion that people believe in. But in this articles, many social
sources influence believing in religion, the most interesting source was the
class, I didn’t think about people’s income level can effect religion because I always
thought religion is free notion from poverty or rich.

discussion
Recently, many religions are appear and I think religion
secularization problem is becoming bigger. Religions lose their original
purpose instead, they pursue money and they focus on raising their size. And
too many religions that their purpose and ideology are indistinctness emerging.
Sometimes some of these religions, social problems are emerging too, like Pseudo-life religion. So I ask to what extent should
we acknowledge that religion is a ‘religion’. And in the future, how religion
will be treated by these problems?
