Introduction Case Study discussion: RELS-2300
Whether or not the CoBM is a religion depends entirely on how "religion" is defined. Religion is an extremely slippery concept, and it can be hard to think about it in a logically consistent fashion. For this assignment, think about what you understand religion to be and then write a sensible definition of religion. Use the textbook as well as your personal experience. Can your definition apply to the CoBM?
Q1. Which definition of religion makes the most sense to you, and why?
Q2. What does your favorite definition reveal about the world's religions? What does it miss?
Q3. Can your definition find room for organizations like the CoBM?
