Philosophy of Religion

I invited you to look at religion from an anthropological/historic perspective. Why are there so many different "creation" myths and who is to say one is better than the other?

What is a religion? I hinted that in most religions we find 1- cosmogony and 2- eschatology (how things end). There are rituals (the act of worship) , and a sacred text. There is also the prophetic idea of religion.
