Chapter Two: What is Religion?
Broadly speaking, religion is the relationship to the Absolute, to That Which we call God. Since this relationship exists for everyone, even for an atheist, it is common to say that everyone has their own religion. However, when taken in this manner, in a broad sense, religion can be both correct and incorrect, true and false, moral and immoral – depending on what we understand as the absolute, highest, and ultimate value of the world and how we relate to it – what we believe in and how we believe, what we accept and what we reject. Positively and fundamentally speaking, religion is the communion with God (reunion). It is precisely about this religion that we must speak.
