Document Summary

Ways to describe these words: (people approach religion) Internal vs external approach to the definition of religion. Personal and public connections make a difference too. Belief / doctrines / agreed upon set of canons/ rules: scripture. In-group vs out-group plays a role how people view religions. God and faith would be an internal view, with personal connections. Some of these show priority in personal experience. World view and narrative roles are external connection. Definition of religion can change due to someone"s personal experience with words. If they have a poor past with religion their definition would have had a negative past with religion. Main idea: religion isn"t one thing and people do not always agree what it is. Cavanaugh argued that the prison took away his ability to worship. The court said, his religion was a parody. The court doesn"t seem to accept his religion because it isn"t a socially accepted religion.
