Religion is the state of being grasped by an ultimate concern, a concern which qualifies all other concerns as preliminary and which itself contains the answer to the question of a meaning of our life." Paul Tillich

About This Quote

This quote is far too profound to sum up in one sentence. Religion is the belief system that gives meaning to your life. It helps you understand why bad things happen and helps you understand why good things happen. It tells you that there is a higher power, or higher beings, who determine what happens to you.

It gives you an answer to the question of what your life means, and it tells you how to live your life. Religion is not something that should be judged by others but should be something that is done for yourself.
