Religion DVDs

Religion, a term sometimes used interchangeably with faith, is commonly defined as belief concerning the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices and institutions associated with such belief.

In its broadest sense some have defined it as the sum total of answers given to explain humankind's relationship with the universe. In the course of the development of religion, it has taken an almost infinite number of forms in various cultures and individuals.

However, religion today is dominated by a number of major world religions.

Occasionally, the word "religion" is used to designate what should be more properly described as a "religious organization" – that is, an organization of people that supports the exercise of some religion, often taking the form of a legal entity.

The word religion is thought to derive from one of two combinations of Latin roots. The first is re + legio or "re-reading," a meaning attributed by Cicero to describe the repetition of scripture.

The second interpretation, favoured by more modern scholars such as Tom Harpur, is re + ligio or "reconnection." However, some take the Latin term "ligio" (as in ligament) in the sense of "bind" rather than "connect," hence interpreting "religion" as "returning to bondage."
