As I begin my classes at WMU I have become very intrigued with this one class called Religions of The World. Its all about exploring religion not only in a religious view, but also a scientific view. This class gives an overall perspective as to why religion exists, and has existed for so long. Im not a huge religious person myself, so I didn't come into the class with a very bias view on religion. As the class went on we started looking at quotes of religious experts. As I skimmed through most of them, I got stuck on this one quote that will change my view on religion for the rest of my life. It was "Man makes religion, religion does not make man." This quote really makes you step back and rethink why religion has existed for so long.

That is a very powerful quote. I'm not very religious myself so it does make me look at it like "No wonder it's lasted so long." Which also could bring our attention to, that could happen with anything. We would need just a large group of people to begin to gather their same opinion or beliefs on one specific thing and make it work. That probably plays a major key in keeping something going for so long. There's a reason why things are labeled as "trends" nowadays, because they're only in for a certain amount of time. Constantly going in and out like a new style of clothing, unlike the man made religions.
