Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Religion is a system of beliefs and practices (rituals)based on some sacred or supernatural realmthat guides human behavior, gives meaning to life, and unites believers into a single moral community. Religion is one of the most significant social institutions in society. Most religions attempt to answer fundamental questions such as those regarding the meaning of life and how the world was created. Most religions also provide comfort to persons facing emotional traumas such as illness, suffering, grief, and death. Moreover, religious beliefs are linked to practices that bind people together and to rites of passage such as birth, marriage, and death.

Most sociologists studying religion are committed to the pursuit of disinterested scholarship, meaning that they do not seek to make value judgments about religious beliefs or to determine whether particular religious bodies are right or wrong. For the most part, sociologists study religion by using sociological methods such as historical analysis, experimentation, participant observation, survey research, and content analysis that can be verified and replicated. As a result, most studies in the sociology of religion focus on tangible elements that can be seen, such as written texts, patterns of behavior, or individual's opinions about religious matters. Recently, more U.S. scholars have started examining religion from a global perspective to determine ways in which religious ideas are performed on the world stage. Spirituality is the relationship between the individual and something larger than oneself, such as a broader sense of connection with the surrounding world.
