It is not certain that anyone has tried to compile a list of all the forms of religion that can be found throughout the world. Many people make a living from religion. We can state the obvious by saying that they seem to have made an excellent career choice. What makes the practice of religion so overwhelming is the human perception of the awesome GOD.
The most illustrative evidence for GOD is in the writings of Moses as part of the Bible. GOD’s presence was almost palpable. There has never been an experience comparable to what the Jews had with GOD. We will not attempt to turn this occasion into a review of those events. However, there is nothing to diminish the authenticity of those events.
Man looks to GOD in moments of grave difficulties, and the future threatens everything dire. The most obvious way to get closer to GOD is through religion. Those who believe in GOD, but practice religion for convenience, seek out those who are most familiar with seeking GOD. Some do not trust their religion to provide the requested help. Therefore, they turn to another form of religion. The others seem confident enough to approach the LORD GOD at any moment.
Those who believe in religion accept the existence and supreme power of GOD over all creation. It is quite curious that they do not take into account the justice of GOD to treat all men equally. It becomes obvious anyway when a moment of inequality occurs. Otherwise, all men, regardless of what they choose as a profession, are equal before GOD.
We live in a physical world. In the right conditions, all physical things are visible. It seems that GOD does not belong to our physical world. Religion is the vehicle of access. Since GOD is not physical, He must have His existence spiritually. In that case, the focus that matters must be spiritual.
