What Functions Religion May Have?

Religion and science

Religion and science are incompatible

religion is replaced by science in the past.

In the past, human didn't have enough knowledge to explain natural phenomena.

ex)Thunder, lightning, volcanic eruptions, death and birth etc.

humans have many fear and curiosity.

Human beings have understood natural phenomena through the religion.

As a result, God, heaven and hell was created.

Religion and community

Humans were afraid animal and external raid's attack.

Humans made the religion to forget the fear.
religion gathered a lot of people.

So,Religion made community and had a big influence.

Influence of religion can know through the historic architecture.

ex) Moai, Stonehenge, Pyramids, St. Peter's Basilica, Bulguksa etc.

Religious buildings are always the best technology.

I think many people are work.

Religion has a social responsibility and political power

The Pope governed Europe.

Religion had made a lot of political conflict.

Disputes between religion accounted for the majority of European history.

Religious conflict appears in these days . ex) 911 terror and IS

Religion and Art

Humans are painted to the worship since prehistoric times.

Human also has created a number of sculptures and statues.

Churches and temple were developed for architecture.

Christianity has created many hymns for missionary work.

Religion and Entertainment

Modern people use religion as an element of Entertainment

There are many choir in the churches.

Choir perform in many countries.
ex) Libera Boy's Choir

People like to see their show.

Because Religious elements have a lot of fantasy elements.
