Religion

“Religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of life and the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural agency”.

What sociology says about Religion

“The word religion is the matter of faith or belief system, based on conviction rather scientific

evidence.” Religion differs from private belief in that it has

a public aspect. Most religions have organized behaviors, including congregations for prayer, priestly hierarchies, holy places, and scriptures.

Many religions have narratives, symbols, traditions and sacred histories that are intended to give meaning to life.

They tend to derive morality, ethics, religious laws or a preferred lifestyle from their ideas about the cosmos and human nature.

Academics studying the subject have divided religions into three broad categories.

Judaism, the first and oldest of the three great monotheistic faiths, is the religion and way of life of the Jewish people. The basic laws and tenets of Judaism are derived from the Torah, the first five books of the Bible.

Judaism believes that the world was created by a single, all-knowing divinity, and that all things within that world were designed to have meaning and purpose as part of a divine order.

Judaism does have a concept of reward and punishment in the afterlife.

When someone dies, the disembodied soul leaves this sensory world and enters “Gan Eden,” the spiritual Garden of Eden (a.k.a. “Heaven”).
