Research On Religion
Religion; a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature and purpose of the universe especially when considered as the creation of a superhuman agency of agencies, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.
To me, religion is simple. It’s my belief system that gets me through life, and how I operate and/or react to certain situations. I am a Christian, and the church I attend is of Non-denominational Christianity and they teach us things such as we are of this faith, and it should be apart of all times. Meaning in school, work and any other place, people should be able to tell we are dedicated to this religion. So to me, I believe that religion should be allowed to be displayed and spoken of in public schools. However, if it is something that may offend a person/persons like a t-shirt with a rude slur, or just something someone said. I think everyone should be proud of what he or she believes in, and seeing different religions can reflect whom a person is and what they are like in reality. My idea of this “displayed personality” through religion may cause chaos toward of people and their religions clashing. Therefore, I believe that we should be able to display our religion in school, because if you are strong in that faith or not, it should be apart of you. Like I mentioned earlier offensive behavior or material shouldn’t be allowed.
