- Defense:
-
- "Religion is norms, values, or a way of life to an individual or community".
-
- This can be defended by taking a look at they way most religious people live.
- Many people live accordingly to there religions rules and regulations. This
- includes Buddhists, Muslims, Mennonites, and Amish just to point out a few.
- Not only in dress and in possessions but people who respect their religions
- live by their religion's rules.

- "A spiritual guide that governs the way a person lives from day to day by
- giving that person hope, belief, and a reason to exist in this world."
- Religion can give an individual codes to live. It can give a person hope,
- belief, and a reason to exist by making the individual feel loved or cared
- about by their religion or their religious deities. It can also give them
- hope and belief by feeling included within a group of individuals that share
- their same views. By giving them a reason to exist religions give an
- individual something to look forward to after death and purpose for being on
- earth.

- "Religion can be whatever a person makes of it. Religion can be a persons
- assets, family, or other individuals and possessions, it can be many things
- besides worship to a "God" or "Deity"."
- Religion can mean different things for different people. It can be a rich
- mans money, poor mans shelter, a mad mans weapons. Many people or cultures
- worships numerous "gods" for different occasions. Some people worship the
- earth or animals while many other individuals worship other "people" or
- "mortals". A persons religion can be what they make it.
-
- "It can be whatever a person deems holy or sacred."
- By determining what is holy or sacred to the individual they can choose to
- make that their religion. Whether it be a feeling of enlightenment or a
- persons bank account, the individual has the right to make what they
- consider holy their religion. Not saying it is wrong or right because it is
- all based on a matter of opinion and belief. Much like my definition of
- religion.
