Religion

Although Greensboro isn't necessarily that large, I am surprised to see so many places of worship. People from all kinds of cultures and backgrounds meet in order to show honor and respect to the different religions they believe in. Some go out of obligation, others go for personal spirituality, and some go to socialize with people who are similar to them.

I think the most interesting thing is the fact that there are so many different types of Christianity. I saw countless signs for different churches that all believe in God, yet somehow differentiate themselves from other congregations. t is strange to me that people who all believe in the same thing separate themselves from one another and argue.


One thing is obvious, religion is very important to this society. It influences the choices people make, the way they date and marry and have children, the way they dress and drink and eat. It is an institution of power that can either bring people together or tear them apart. Even if religions are different from one another, they are all based on the concept that there is something bigger than humanity watching us. This seems to be a common human belief that I am unfamiliar with.
