POST1: Religious Beliefs
RELIGION
Religion is an important aspect of life as it shapes one's worldview-an encompassing picture of reality based on a set of shared assumptions about how the world works-belief, tradition and ultimately behavior. The study of religion broadens my knowledge on religious beliefs and worldview on supernatural beings and so on. According to Adherents-an independent non religiously affiliated organization that monitors the number and size of the world's religions- there are 4000+ religions in the world.
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
In my research, I would look at religious beliefs meaning the belief in a religion's central article of faith. For instance, animism, spirit and gods, cosmology, theological system, mythology and so on. Under this topic, I will talk about spirit and gods776 and cosmology772 in three different cultures from different regions which are Yoruba(West Africa), Tongans(Oceania) and Yurok(North America). I chose these cultures as it will enlighten me on the similarities and differences between them and also to have an idea of how they view spirits and gods, and cosmology.
