Religion-Chelsea Gilbert

Religion. There are many questions that surround religion and its purpose. Why was it created? What does it do for the people? Is it always a positive thing? Those aren't questions that I can answer for anyone else, only myself. Religion is defined as a strong belief in something unchanging, which connects us to an ultimate power. Religion can give us a guideline on how we should live and it gives us a purpose. I think the biggest reason so many people believe in religion(of any kind) is to have something to believe in. Everyone wants to have something they are sure of, something that makes them feel better when times are hard, and for a lot of people, religion is that. It can bring a calming, relaxing feeling to a person who is going through a rough time, and it can bring good feelings to a person who is happy. Religion plays a different part in many people's lives.
