RELIGION AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Does life have meaning? What gives it meaning? Why do we act
the way we do? What is the best way to live? How can we find peace?
These are questions that people have struggled with throughout
history. Philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, and physicists are
among the many thinkers who have tried to give us answers. We look
for answers within ourselves, but few are satisfactory. In the end, it is
religion that gives most of the world answers to these questions.
Hundreds of religions exist in the world, yet all religions try to
answer the same questions. Every religion teaches basic ideas that
help humans understand their nature and their behavior. Every religion
describes two sides of human nature - the animal and the divine. It is
these opposing sides that cause conflicts. Every religion gives people a
method that they can follow to resolve the conflicts. All religions have
a goal, which is in one form or another the transformation of humans
from the animal to the divine. This spiritual transformation is common
to all religions, though it has many names: nirvana, heaven, salvation.
All cultures in the world have religious beliefs. For that reason,
every part of life is affected by religions, whose teachings offer
guidelines on ways to live.
