BELIEF SYSTEMS?

2. WHAT IS RELIGION?
The word "religion" can be defined in many ways but usually it involves one or more of the following three things:
the worship of a God or gods
guidelines about how to behave
answers to life's biggest questions
Since science also seeks to provide answers to life's biggest questions, it sometimes comes into conflict with religion. Therefore, some people believe that we must choose between the two. However, others believe that science and religion can both be useful
(since science tends to answer the question HOW and religion tends to answer the question WHY). WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT THIS?
