Assignment Question

Prompt:

What is Religion? Pick or create a definition of your own and defend it or critique it. Conclude with a few “so what?” thoughts on the field as a result of your definition or critique.

Remember, the whole point of taking any stance at all on “what religion is,” to define or critique a definition of religion, is, at least in part, to move the study of religion forward.
