The phenomenological transformation of religion
Keywords:
phenomenon, occurrence, religion, religiosity, sacral, religious faction, faith, beliefAbstract
What is a phenomenon and what is an occurrence? What is religion, and what is its faction? In order to more accurately clarify the meaning and as accurately as possible determine the function of certain phenomena, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between concepts and the phenomena that they represent. Borrowing terms that describe an occurrence or phenomenon to explain another occurrence or phenomenon jeopardizes the understanding of both concepts. In this article we will try to find out why the distinction of concepts is important for the differentiation and understanding of occurrences and phenomena, in this case religiosity, religion and religion’s factions.
