Features: A concise overview of religious characteristics. People's religions need not be the same. "Religious studies" can only imply, not disclose, a religious belief. Is religion a relic of primitive thought? Modern science rejects the concept of personality. Anthropomorphism and belief in personified beings are characteristics of prescientific thought. Despite this, the power of personified beings is real. The object of science is abstract, only personalized experience is concrete. Religion relies on the concrete. Religion is primarily a biological response. Its simplest form is discomfort and salvation; it narrates the circumstances of salvation.
