RELIGION
In times of uncertainty or when faced with the unknown; we are unable to provide the answers or control the chain of events around us. This is when we turn to the esoteric in the hope of finding deliverance. Religion provides us with a sense of belongingness and security; and that provides us solace and comfort. Religion binds the society through common beliefs, rituals and rites.
RELIGIOSITY
Simply put, religiosity is the level of a follower's commitment towards his or her religion. Religious levels are not constant and consistent, but vary from society to society and from individual to individual. The religious level, in fact, not only differs from one person to another but also differs in an individual's own lifetime, emanating as a result of demographic, social and psychological factors.
