Religion

            Everyone has a religion, no matter you are or not a free-thinker, you still have your own religion. There are many different religions in the world and the most popular one are Christian, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism which most of the people believe.

            Defined by the dictionary, religion is a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered as a creation of a superhuman agency, usually involving devotional and ritual observances, and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

            In all the religion, embracer believes in supernatural forces which can be divided into human origin and nonhuman origin. Human origin supernatural forces refer to the ancestral spirit and ghost. Ancestral spirit is the dead relatives to a family. While in nonhuman origin supernatural forces are gods and spirit. Human usually worship them and pray to them to seek relieve anxiety and uncertainly.

            Furthermore, due to there are gods or goddess in all religions, most of the embracers believe in immortality. Humans normally wanted to become immortality and started to find magic to make this wish come true. This is because human wanted to become extra-ordinary and to live forever.

            In conclusion, I believe that religion forms is because of the need of community to comfort human’s anxiety and uncertainly. Without a religion, human might feel sorrow when there are problems, disaster, accident, and illness come to human. As a result, human will hardly survive until today without a religion.
