 The salient features of Religion:-

1. Claims to provide answers to some of the fundamental questions

To begin with, most world religions claim to be the sole repository of the answers to some of the fundamental questions that concern us. Such fundamental questions, amongst others, may include ‘what the ultimate reality is’, ‘why anything exists at all’, ‘what our place in such a reality is’, ‘what our true nature is’ etc. These questions, arguably, suggest that religion claims to offer the architecture of our reality.

Various subsects of all the major religions are a testimony to this propensity.

The afore-stated concern probably stems from a foreseeable impending end to our lives, which forces upon us some psychologically unsettling questions such as, is death the final truth staring us and our loved ones, or is there some form of continuity that makes our lives more meaningful than what is apparent. Most religions attempt to satisfy this human yearning for continuity by advancing a conception of our _____________ _______ __________ __________ ______ _____ _________ ____________ ____ ___________ _______ ______ ___ ________.
