Religion is the sixth sense that we all have. The sixth sense represents all that we cannot see, touch, feel, smell, or taste. Yet we all have, in differing degrees, a feeling that there is more to us than this physical world we inhabit. Religion is a means of trying to respond to these universal questions. It also presents a behavior system that ultimately promotes the welfare of that group of believers.

Write out in your own words a definition for religious faith.
I have been taught that “Christianity is God reaching out to us while religion is us trying to reach god.”
As a nurse I know how to look at the Mental, Physical and Spiritual side of everything because it is all important to our health and welfare. According to the dictionary:
“Religion is belief in a god or gods and the activities that are connected with this belief, such as praying or worshipping in a building such as a church or temple.”
“A religion is a particular system of belief in a god or gods and the activities that are connected with this system.”
For myself, all of the descriptions and definitions seem too stilted because I have assisted with so many healing rituals in many faiths because as a nurse I know that, yes, religion is vital to life. I just know that being a follower of the Christ fills the God-shaped hole in my heart just right. I believe Jesus the Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. However, I will continue, as I have told people here, “I will talk to anyone, anytime about anything”…and I do. -
