"What Does it Mean to Be Religious Many define "religion" as a "belief system." But religion encompasses a lot more than "belief" and "doctrine." In fact many religions don't emphasize personal faith much at all. For many people their religious identity is derived through the rituals they decide to participate in and the cultural identity that they have adopted. How then can we complicate our "belief centric" view of religious identity Patreon: www.patreon.com/religionforbreakfast Facebook: www.facebook.com/religionforbreakfast Twitter: @andrewmarkhenry Andrew's religious studies book"
