Religion is about belief is about search for meaning. A belief in god (but this is not generalizable) Hans penner defined religion as: practices and expressions based on belief in superhuman beings (super beyond ; buddha) How is diversity related to tradition: traditions does not equal to judaism , christianity , islam . Basically traditions are more specific than referring to a particular religion. Nothing is self-evident: all evidence has been fought for by scholars theology has a diff relationship w/ diff sources of knowledge. Religious communities interpret religion differently than academic communities how is diversity related to both theological dualisms and academic forms of classification: monotheism vs polytheism.
