Modern Religious Experience: Reflection Question #1: "According to Mircea Eliade religion has 'not vanished without a trace; [it] has contributed toward making us what we are today and so, after..."
Religion has contributed to my own personal history in a few ways. First of all, my family members have usually always been Christian. This affected my personal religion, Christianity, which has contributed my history. Being surrounded by that many Christians and being born into that community, despite the few who follow their own secular beliefs and have become areligious, somewhat determined what religion I would believe in. Religion has also contributed to my own personal history by making the person I am today. In Christianity, there are certain rules you have to follow. These "rules" guided me in the lifestyle I live and my behavior. They also guided me into making the morals I live by in life. This is how religion has affected my personal history.
