RE207 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Osmosis
Document Summary
You learn religion like you learn language. When friends out number a different religion. Sharing ultimate closeness we need to share the same faith. Religious socialization: how things were versus how things are now. Holistic: really woven into your life (coming form gma & gpa) The chances that you moved out of your rural village you grew up in were very slim. If there was a religious tradition you were a part of it. You were going to the church for funerals, weddings, party, etc. You inherited these beliefs not through teaching, more through the process of osmosis. You would just get it through your environment. Catholic schools teachers leading you towards catechism. Mom and dad are no longer teaching us. Anytime you farm something out to someone they just don"t care as much about it no real skin in the game.
