Description: | As an academic discipline, Religious Studies does not promote nor undermine any particular religion or worldview; it approaches the study of religion as a social phenomenon, recognizing that religions have occupied a very central place in virtually all civilizations. The program focuses on the relationship between religion and culture.
From the beginning of time, practically all societies throughout the world have developed values and beliefs that have had an impact on their development and in the way they interact amongst themselves. The world's major religions, particularly, have played and still play a crucial role in the lives of people all over the planet.
