meaning it is shaped by human societies .. shared traditions .. & collective beliefs .. the same way cultures create languages .. customs .. & values .. they also create systems of meaning that guide how people understand life .. morality .. & existence .
religion is one of the many systems that humans have created .. developed & passed down & inherited through generations ... a lot of religious traditions are deeply connected to culture .. history & the communities that pass them down ..
so for many people .. religion is inherited through family .. geography & social environment ... meaning the beliefs someone grows up with are often influenced by the society they’re born into .. in that sense religion can be viewed as a social construct ..
an agnostic person isn’t automatically atheist ... anti-religion ( i am tho 😭 ) ... or “ against god ” it simply means they recognize the limits of human knowledge and choose not to claim certainty about something that cannot be definitively proven or disproven .
im agnostic ... & for anyone confused about what “ agnostic ” means ... agnosticism is the position that the existence of a god .. gods .. or any higher power is unknown or cannot be proven with certainty .
LMFAO somebody recommended i listen to this pastor & i said “ no thanks im not religious " … they immediately hit me with “ so you worship the devil ? ” like no bitch 😭 i just said i don’t practice religion 😂 then they started explaining that god is real and that he loves me .
