Discussion A
In week 1, I asked you to list some issues that you believe were important to address in order to define a religion. Based on your reading through the semester, have you changed your mind on the necessity of any of these? Has your scope broadened or narrowed concerning definition of a religion?
Discussion B
There is a famous saying that says people should never discuss religion or politics. After a semester of studying religions and interacting with each other in a respectful way through the discussion boards, give your feelings about this statement. You can even discuss debates within yourself about how you struggled with reading or writing a response. Please avoid specific names or topics in your discussion.

Whether there is a clear distinction between being religious and spiritual can be a matter of perspective and interpretation. Some individuals may argue that there is little distinction between the two, while others might see them as distinct concepts with significant differences. Those who agree may argue that both religious and spiritual individuals seek a connection with the divine or a higher power. Both groups often engage in practices such as prayer, meditation, or rituals to nurture this connection. Additionally, both religious and spiritual people may draw on their beliefs and faith to find purpose, meaning, and guidance in life. They may share similar values and ethical principles, emphasizing compassion, love, and altruism. On the other hand, those who disagree may highlight the differences between religiosity and spirituality. Religion is often associated with organized systems of beliefs, institutions, and established rituals. It tends to have more structured practices and communal gatherings. Spirituality, on the other hand, may be seen as a more individualistic and personal quest for transcendence or self-discovery, often not bound by specific dogmas or formal religious doctrines. Furthermore, religious affiliation may involve adherence to specific religious texts and doctrines, while spirituality might involve a more open and eclectic approach, drawing inspiration from various traditions. In conclusion, the distinction between being religious and spiritual can vary depending on one’s interpretation and understanding of these terms. While some see little difference between the two, others perceive them as separate and unique aspects of human experience.
