Type: Indicator

Excerpt: reading some of your replies, it is apparent that you equate "religion" with a series of beliefs, which you define as "ideas" which exist in someone's mind and can be relegated to that space. this is indicative of someone raised in a western christian culture, where religion actually is little more than a list of concepts and doctrines to which a person claims to hold. there is a very strong history of rationalism in western culture and religion in the west has, at least since the enlightenment, manifested itself as a world of ideas rather than practice. there are lots of reasons for this, but it is important you understand that distinction. religion, as you understand it, is fundamentally different from religion as much of the world understands it. your understanding is also vastly different from even the understanding of christians as recently as the 14th and 15th centuries.
