"Report on the Religious Life of Planet Earth"
Assume you are from another planet and have been sent to Earth to determine if it is a religious planet or not (something very important to your people). Your superiors are expecting a report back from you.
Write a 2-3 page (approximately 500-750 words) "report" that addresses the following:
• Discuss the criteria you will employ to determine if people on earth are religious - in other words, what does religion look like?
• Describe three (3) examples of behaviors or beliefs you observe that meet the criteria you established above.
• Based on your observations, explain what the function of religion appears to be on Earth.
• If you find that religion can be better discussed in terms of something other than its function, explain how else religion could be understood.
