(a 2009 global ‘gallup poll’)
(‘gallup’ is an american ‘management consulting firm’)
“is religion important in your daily life?”
(define ‘religion’…)
(define ‘important’…)
“ESTONIA”
(least religious country)
(16% of respondents said “yes”)
(78% of respondents said “no”)
(6% ‘weren’t sure’)

-“religion” is a cultural system of ‘behaviors’ and ‘practices’, ‘world views’, ‘sacred texts’, ‘holy places’, ‘ethics’, and ‘societal organization’ that relate ‘humanity’ to what an anthropologist has called “an order of existence”-
.
(different religions may or may not contain various elements, ranging from the “divine”, “sacred things”, “faith”, a “supernatural being or supernatural beings” or “some sort of ultimacy and transcendence that will provide norms and power for the rest of life”)
(religious practices may include ‘rituals’, ‘sermons’, ‘commemoration’ or ‘veneration’ (of ‘god’ or ‘deities’), ‘sacrifices’, ‘festivals’, ‘feasts’, ‘trances’, ‘initiations’, ‘funerary services’, ‘matrimonial services’, ‘meditation’, ‘prayer’, ‘music’, ‘art’, ‘dance’, ‘public service’, or other aspects of ‘human culture’)
(religions have ‘sacred histories’ and ‘narratives’, which may be preserved in ‘sacred scriptures’, and ‘symbols’ and ‘holy places’, that aim mostly to give a ‘meaning’ to ‘life’)
(religions may contain ‘symbolic stories’ (which are sometimes said by followers to be ‘true’) that have the ‘side purpose’ of explaining the origin of ‘life’, the ‘universe’, and other things)
(traditionally, ‘faith’ (in addition to ‘reason’) has been considered a source of ‘religious beliefs’)
(there are an estimated 10,000 distinct religions worldwide)
(about 84% of the world’s population is affiliated with 1 of the 5 largest religions, namely ‘christianity’, ‘islam’, ‘hinduism’, ‘buddhism’, or forms of “folk religion”)
(with the onset of the ‘modernization’ of and the ‘scientific revolution’ in the ‘western world’, some aspects of ‘religion’ have cumulatively been criticized)
(the religiously unaffiliated include ‘atheists’ (who reject belief in the existence of deities) and ‘agnostics’ (who believe that the truth of certain claims – especially ‘metaphysical’ and religious claims such as whether ‘god’, the ‘divine’, or the ‘supernatural’ exist – are ‘unknown’ and perhaps ‘unknowable’))
(while the ‘religiously unaffiliated’ have grown globally, many of the ‘unaffiliated’ still have various ‘religious beliefs’)
(about 16% of the world’s population is ‘religiously unaffiliated’)
(the study of religion encompasses a wide variety of ‘academic disciplines’, including ‘theology’, ‘comparative religion’, and ‘social scientific studies’)
.
(theories of ‘religion’ offer various explanations for the ‘origins’ + ‘workings’ of ‘religion’)
