In the past few weeks, we talked about pilgrimage “the universal quest for the self” and find the true definition of religion. We also had a very long in depth conversation about what religion was and four other theorist’s idea of what is religion. We also took notes over the four theorists idea, like Frazer’s idea that magic becomes religion and religion then becomes science or Durkheim’s theory of unified systems of belief or Freud’s which is over conflicting emotions and religion is an illusion, then there was Marx who was an economist and believed that religion was based on suppression of the poor people. I really thought that Marx’s theory was much better than Frazer and Freud’s idea but, Durkheim wasn’t that bad either. After all the discussions over religion and note-taking, I feel like I’m beginning to understand what religion is a little more.
