| IMO a religion is a philosophical modification. A religion may contain multiple philosophies, but can also be simply a fringe group of a single philosophy.
Philosophies are based on the way they treat the less rational aspects of life, those parts we cannot point at, measure, and manipulate with science and mathematics. Religion is both a subgroup because it deals mostly with the afterlife, and a more general grouping because religion tends to develop systems that affect the whole structure that philosophy is based on.
Any support or arguements... |
