A 6 page paper discussing various aspects of religion that address issues such as oppression and liberation. Religion is a very complex and emotional subject which can often cause people to feel completely at peace with themselves and life, but can also incite people to violence. It revolves around a faith that instills, and often forces, people to behave and believe a certain way, depending on, and regardless of, the religion. More often than not religion is nothing more than a safety net that provides individuals with set rules which essentially protect them from themselves, thereby making it an oppressive reality as well as a liberating one. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
