Theme Study: Reality and Religion

Reality: The state or quality of being real.

The problem with the subject of reality is that it is difficult to comprehend as we don’t know the state or quality of being true. This state or quality is entirely bound by our beliefs.

In Catholicism people decide on their actions in accordance with the bible furthermore, in their reality there is a life beyond death. However this reality is on the opposite side of the spectrum from atheists that strongly believe that there is no life after death and there is overall, no God. Yet it is quite recently due to science that the popular belief of religion is beginning to shift and more people are starting to believe in the atheist point of view. As in book Sophie’s world the philosopher Alberto Knox describes religion as the creative reason for all things that happen.

“By philosophy we mean the completely new way of thinking that evolved in Greece about six hundred years before the birth of Christ. Until that time people had found answers to all their questions in various religions.”
