Explanation / Answer
Q- Discuss the roles and functions of religion in human history and contemporary life, especially Western religions.
Ans- Religion has no fixed definition or role or function. Every person or group of people has different meaning and importance of religion in their life. In history, religion played a crucial role and main decisions of the society were taken by people directly associated with it. Like priests were the ruling power in ancient times. But time has changed a lot now. In present scene, religion plays a role in mental peace of an individual. Though it bisects people into particular groups but basis of all the types is same. Religion plays an important role but not as authoritative as in ancient times.
