Culture Shapes Religious Belief

Almost all human beliefs and values ​​are greatly influenced by culture, it is not rocket science. If you grow up in America, you probably will not become a stubborn rugby fan. If you grew up in Germany, you probably will not take care of American football. Sports is but one example.

Even in culture, your beliefs and values ​​are greatly influenced by the social group you get (your family, friends). Many of this will happen when you are a child, you basically have no choice.

What is important is that we are mostly told to believe and endorse us, to believe in culture and cherish.

Of course, we do not always know how much we are told to believe, and many of them are implicit. Otherwise, some scholars think that people will destroy the overall purpose of forming survivors and groups for their needs and believing they will resist it. Individual intelligence in society and society depends not on people a lot this, but on the followers of these rules and values.

This is a long process to solve my main problem. If culture and society form all our beliefs, what does this mean from a religious point of view?

If you were born in Iran, you might become a Muslim. If you were born at an American Christian's house, you might become a Christian. If your parents are atheists, you may become an atheist

So, what religion can claim a unique truth, if (largest) prediction of religious beliefs is geography (which may be the case)? In reality, if they were born in a different country, believers of this religion will believe in various things. I insist that your religion is totally true and effective, (I deny this understanding)

I am not here to accept religious beliefs. My argument is not that religion is wrong, but I do not know which religion is claimed to be true and that all other religions will be sacrificed.

Even if you assume that a religion is true (who knows?), Believers of this religion can not know this. Something.

When your hometown is based on your whereabouts it seems a bit odd that higher powers and forces will keep your trust in them. They must be very irrational or very bad social psychologists

Another problem with the importance of numbers is the independence of related opinions. Our beliefs are influenced by many factors, but not all of them are cognitively related. Even certain religious beliefs, political beliefs and even philosophical beliefs are related to growth or admission at a particular school in a particular field. For this reason, it is possible to agree with individuals who are statistically significant in understanding by individuals expressing opinions on specific issues, and then share a larger background. Please refer to Carey & Matheson 2013, Goldman 2001, and Lackey 2013b for more information on this issue.

Clearly, our system, "we are religious people" in the form of Protestant culture in the second half of the 18th century, reflects a certain degree of cultural beliefs to the supreme being. But, how much does the American people's religious belief influence the development of public policy? Should most religions in the Republic should play a special role in formulating public institutions, programs and policies? How do the diversity of Christianity and Judaism and the increase in diversity of religion in the country affect the role of religion in public life? Can public decision makers respond to countless and often contradictory religious voices in our culture? Should I give a religious tradition of those who are not convinced of the highest existence or who understand me as ignorance, no religion or atheist?

Each culture has its own belief about how the world functions and how people play in the world. In society where most people have the same religion, religious beliefs have greatly shaped cultures. Each culture has its own beliefs about the meaning and purpose of life, and what happens after death. This shows a way for people of these cultures to approach death. For example, if people believe in life after death, people may feel death is more tolerable. Depending on the culture, the spirit of the dead is thought to have a direct impact on our lives. Families feel comforted by believing that the people they love are monitoring them. In general, beliefs about the meaning of death help people understand it and deal with that mystery.
