Religion is a cultural system of behaviors and practices, world views, ethics, and social organisation that relate humanity to an order of existence. About 84% of the world's population is affiliated with one of the five largest religions, namely Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism or forms of folk religion.
With the onset of the modernisation of and the scientific revolution in the western world, some aspects of religion have cumulatively been criticized. Though the religiously unaffliated, including atheism and agnosticism, have grown globally, many of the unaffiliated still have various religious beliefs. About 16% of the world's population is religiously unaffiliated.
The study of religion encompasses a wide variety of academic disciplines, including comparative religion and social scientific studies. Theories of religion offer explanations for the origins and workings of religion.
Religion (from O.Fr. religion "religious community", from L. religionem (nom. religio) "respect for what is sacred, reverence for the gods", "obligation, the bond between man and the gods") is derived from the Latin religiō, the ultimate origins of which are obscure. One possibility is an interpretation traced to Cicero, connecting lego "read", i.e. re (again) + lego in the sense of "choose", "go over again" or "consider carefully". Modern scholars such as Tom Harpur and Joseph Campbell favor the derivation from ligare "bind, connect", probably from a prefixed re-ligare, i.e. re (again) + ligare or "to reconnect", which was made prominent by St. Augustine, following the interpretation of Lactantius. The medieval usage alternates with order in designating bonded communities like those of monastic orders: "we hear of the 'religion' of the Golden Fleece, of a knight 'of the religion of Avys'".

The evolutionary origin of religions theorizes about the emergence of religious behavior during the course of human evolution. About the book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143038338/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp;=1789&creative;=9325&creativeASIN;=0143038338&linkCode;=as2&tag;=ub066-20&linkId;=878c5f216112d8f8ff88a9052ed4ffa5 Humanity's closest living relatives are common chimpanzees and bonobos. These primates share a common ancestor with humans who lived between four and six million years ago. It is for this reason that chimpanzees and bonobos are viewed as the best available surrogate for this common ancestor. Barbara King argues that while non-human primates are not religious, they do exhibit some traits that would have been necessary for the evolution of religion. These traits include hig...

Secrets of the Bible Code Revealed - Religion Documentary Films The Bible code (Hebrew: הצופן התנ"כי, haztofen hatanachi), also known as the Torah code, is a purported set of secret messages encoded within the Hebrew text of the Torah. This hidden code has been described as a method by which specific letters from the text can be selected to reveal an otherwise obscured message. Although Bible codes have been postulated and studied for centuries, the subject has been popularized in modern times by Michael Drosnin's book The Bible Code and the movie The Omega Code. Many examples have been documented in the past. One cited example is that by taking every 50th letter of the Book of Genesis starting with the first taw, the Hebrew word "torah" is spelled out. The same happens in the Book of ...
La chaine officielle de l'émission de France 3. C'est pas sorcier, le magazine de la découverte et de la science. Fred et Jamy nous emmènent à Jérusalem, la ville trois sainte, tandis que Sabine part explorer les ouvrages anciens et très précieux de la bibliothèque de l'Arsenal à Paris. Tous les trois enquêtent sur les trois grandes religions monothéistes : le judaïsme, le christianisme et l'islam... Trois religions avec un seul Dieu et une histoire commune. Juifs, chrétiens et musulmans partagent les mêmes récits de la création du monde en six jours, d'Adam et Eve, du déluge... Tous reconnaissent aussi en Abraham, le père des croyants. Moïse, Jésus et Mahomet seraient les descendants de ce personnage, dont aucune preuve de l'existence n'a été retrouvé. Il existe donc beaucoup de points ...
I compiled the many instances where Bill talks about religion, and mostly about the Catholic church, in a hilarious way. As usual, his take on religious is both very original and perceptive. Love this guy! Enjoy!
UPDATE 2: Forgive me for my wording in the very beginning. Atheism IS on the rise, however it's very small, at only 2%. I didn't mean to discredit the fact that Atheism wasn't on the rise, merely to point out that comparatively, it's not very big. UPDATE: I am aware that I goofed by not fixing the minor mistakes on several of the videos, including the end of Falun Gong, and that I'm working on a Minute Faith video that includes revisions and "bug fixes", which will then also get published on Hour Faith 2! Hey there! We're going to stray from the usual animated style of videos for a moment to talk about something important! The ultimate question of "What do the people of the world believe?" Each clip from this movie are taken from a smaller series of individual videos called "Minute Fa...

They are fighting on islands.
They are fighting at sea.
They are fighting for justice.
They are fighting for me.
I'm not a believer.
Thank God for that.
They try to use me as a receiver
for their useless chat.
The root of all evil
is what we have in mind.
I don't know what
they are trying to find.
Maybe the creator of Adam and Eve.
But why in hell must they hate
each others beliefs.
Roots of all evil.
The roots of our minds.
Religion, religion.
One man is for heaven,
the other represents hell.
And they start to fight
when they ring the bell.
Don't think I'm watching
this senseless game.
For me and my soul
they do just the same.
Roots of all evil.
The roots of our minds.
Religion, religion.
Black:
is the collar of the priest and his voice.
Light:
is the force he wants to praise.
Knight:
is the title of the man who does the killing work.
People are ruined
by the collecting man.
And the money finances a plan.
The meaning of his message is to get
you signed on their list of hired minds.
Roots of all evil.
The roots of our minds.
Religion, religion.
Black:
is the collar of the priest and his voice.
Light:
is the force he wants to praise.
Knight:
is the title of the man who does the killing work.
Why can't they be satisfied
with their work with souls?
Why must the money take control?
The priests are all waiting
for the final cut of the universe.
Roots of all evil.
The roots of our minds.
