Religion or Tradition?
April 9th 2010 19:31
When engaged in a discussion of religion, it is important to make proper distinctions lest you find yourself in an argument, discussion, etc., with little to no meaning. A "religion" is different than a particular "tradition" inside of a religion. For example, Christianity is a major world religion, but there are many different traditions (or expressions), such as Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc. These particular "traditions" are not religions, but simply expressions of the one Faith known as Christianity. I suppose other world religions (e.g., Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc.) contain the same phenomenon, but I am not familiar enough to say this with certainty.
