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'".

Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are five of the biggest religions in the world. Over the last few thousand years, these religious groups have shaped the course of history and had a profound influence on the trajectory of the human race. Through countless conflicts, conquests, missions abroad, and simple word of mouth, these religions spread around the globe and forever molded the huge geographic regions in their paths. -------------------------------------------------- Follow BI Video on Twitter: http://bit.ly/1oS68Zs Follow BI Video On Facebook: http://on.fb.me/1bkB8qg Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/ -------------------------------------------------- Business Insider is the fastest growing business news site in the US.

When presented together, the two propositions in this video are obviously silly, yet only one of them is recognized as such. Why? Perhaps it has something to do with how our standards shift when we’re dealing with reality as opposed to dealing with something far more fantastical. Perhaps it also has something to do with having a well established political and social system of norms and traditions backing up and perpetuating one of those silly propositions, often presented to us by loved ones when we were vulnerable children, or emotionally compromised by something. Why do people accept such silly beliefs, but then live as though they don’t actually believe those things? Perhaps it’s because servitude to a lifetime of running from the whip, whilst chasing the carrot, is too exhausting. I t...

religion - మతం
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.
