This interplay also impacts on individuals within a tradition; society produces the environment that challenges individual's beliefs trusting them into the public arena in defence. The adherent may then shape the views of society, be dismissed as irrelevant, or be condemned or restricted as harmful. In the interplay between religion and society, religion responds to many needs in society at the national, communal group and individual level. Some of the needs that religion responds to are war, extremism, health, political influence, cultural benefits, secularisation and social stability. ]]> 2017-09-05 06:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mleonard15/wkkm254fk30a/wish/184639164 What key definitions are needed for this Unit? mleonard15 https://padlet.com/mleonard15/wkkm254fk30a/wish/184639255 Foundational Beliefs - A belief that existed at the beginning of a religious tradition and is essential to the tradition.
