RELIGIOUS MANIFESTATION 2Religious ManifestationElements of ReligionThe way of life for human beings is quite complex when the subject of religion is broughtabout. This is because different people have diverse beliefs and they believe that they are right. They have proofs from experiences and some are actually real and persuasive. For this reason, some people advise that one needs to have a firm principle so that they are not swayed right, left,center and back in the name of religion. This paper will examine the subject of religious manifestations in depth and put into consideration a number of elements such as a belief system, community, central myths, rituals, an ethical system, emotional experience, material expressions of religion and sacredness.Most religions have a system of beliefs. For instance, the Christians believe in one Supreme Being whom they refer to different names which they accept as true and sacred as well as fitting to Him. There is no religion that can survive without an organization or rather a belief system. For instance, Christian gathers together in different churches during Christmas to celebrate the birth of The Messiah. They also perform ceremonies to remember His death and resurrection. This shows that there is an element of a system of beliefs that they all share as religion (Jacobs, 2005).Many communities are formed as a result of sharing the same religion. These communities are aimed at keeping watch of the faithful in addition to share in the burdens they experience in their journey of life. A community is an important part of religion because it helpsthe faithful to come together and worship as one. It also brings about a sense of belonging to the faithful ( Tolstoi 2014).
