Modern Religious Experience: Reflection Question #1: "According to Mircea Eliade religion has 'not vanished without a trace; [it] has contributed toward making us what we are today and so, after..."
Growing up i was exposed to several religious traditions ranging from the kind of food we eat, the way we dress, and the way we interact with in a community. Practicing on a daily bases, religious holidays and rituals all played a mager role in my up bringing. It is important that our elders carry on these traditions and values to the younger because religion is best understood through setting an example rather then just reading from books.
althoug from my experience, in order to learn more about your own religion and to know the purpose behind why such traditions and rituals take place a lot of researching is required and reading books about not only your own religion but also other religions so that you can gain knowledge of various religions aswell as your own and are able to compare the two or more. It is very improtant that people are not ignorant about other religions.
