After today’s input, I learned that religion is a form of knowledge and that it is part of today’s society, culture and it also is an identity for many people. I learned that religion for many people defines who they are. Following a religion unites people in a shared experience and makes them feel part of a community where they feel welcomed and this is where they belong. I learned that religion is part of today’s society and it is an individual’s choice if they would like to take part or not.

 I found today’s lecture difficult to follow as I have never took part or participated in any aspect of religious education. It was interesting to learn something different and have an open mind set to different peoples beliefs.

 I would like to widen my knowledge therefore I will continue with academic reading on this subject. I will also speak to the people around me about the religion they follow to gain an understanding of different peoples beliefs and thoughts.
