A religion is an organized approach to human spirituality which usually encompasses a set of narratives, symbols, beliefs and practices, often with a supernatural or transcendent quality, that give meaning to the practitioner's experiences of life through reference to a higher power, God or gods, or ultimate truth. It may be expressed through prayer, ritual, meditation, music and art, among other things. It may focus on specific supernatural, metaphysical, and moral claims about reality (the cosmos and human nature) which may yield a set of religious laws, ethics, and a particular lifestyle. Religion also encompasses ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and religious experience. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction. "Religion" is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system," but it is more socially defined than personal convictions, and it entails specific behaviors, respectively. The development of religion has taken many forms in various cultures. It considers psychological and social roots, along with origins and historical development. In the frame of western religious thought, religions present a common quality, the "hallmark of patriarchal religious thought": the division of the world in two comprehensive domains, one sacred, the other profane. Religion is often described as a communal system for the coherence of belief focusing on a system of thought, unseen being, person, or object, that is considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine, or of the highest truth. Moral codes, practices, values, institutions, tradition, rituals, and scriptures are often traditionally associated with the core belief, and these may have some overlap with concepts in secular philosophy. Religion is also often described as a "way of life" or a life stance. From Wikipedia under the

My musical arts teacher is very religious, and she requests that we give her religious explanations for musical terms. Example: Music is a connection between humans and God I find this ridiculous, even idiotic, but she tells us the we MUST explain it this way. Do I have the right to report her to the principal? And if he ignores me(pretty common in our school), how should I deal with her? Asked by #0001C22 Del. - Tue Jan 27 18:31:17 2009 - - 33 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes, you have every right to report her to the principal. If he doesn't take you seriously, you have every right to report him to the school board. And if they don't take you seriously, you have every right to contact the ACLU. You can also take your story to the local news media (even the threat of this will tend to frighten most schools), but that comes with the danger of letting religious nuts know who you are and making them think that you are an enemy - you could get hurt going to the media. But the threat is still a good one, even if it's empty. That's a lot of work, though. If your parents are in agreement with you, it would be in your favor to get them in on the picture.

Q. If some Catholic says "Islam is a lie, Christian is also a lie", will it be considered religious discrimination or the right to freedom of religion ? Can anybody tell me ?
