Introduction
Religion and literature is a journal that focuses on the discussion of the relationship between the faith and the traditional forms of any epoch, residence, and linguistic. Religion is viewed as one's belief in the existence of a supernatural power that is beyond human understanding and has a powerful divinity towards social action (Garvin,1982). However, literature approaches religion differently from religious literature; this is books and journals that widely discuss religion. These books involved Ramayana and piranhas. Faith is a broad topic that can be viewed from the perception of legendary in forms of era, place, and linguistic.
Secular has also defined religion as doctrines made as beliefs and other mystery beyond human power. They also characterize religion as myths and theology related to the holy trinity
and religious periodicity. Periodicals and journals of secular literature that has led to opposition of faith have been written (Garvin,1982). The question remains unanswered whether religion is real and exists and whether it is made of theories and mythical stories as viewed from secular opposition.
Psychology has also played a role in defining religion and identifying the correlation between religion and literature. As we know, psychology studies human behavior and their fiction towards a subject. From psychology as a mirror of society, religion has some elements of truth and other parts that are beyond human understanding. It is evident that most human beings believe in faith and have permanent doctrines containing such rules of religion (Garvin,1982). Psychology, therefore, concludes there is power in religion that drives and governs human action as well as regulating social behaviors.
In the evolving world, there are several religious dominions, which include Christianity, Islamic, Hinduism, and Buddhism, which are commonly known. The oldest theological journal is a scripture from the Hindu religion written between 1500-1200 BCE, and the book recorded a history that has survived for several centuries.
In the ancient, materials explaining religion such as the Old Greece's belief had been identified as polytheistic, suggesting they trusted in many spirits. Yes, the deities we recognize as the Olympics Deities what many religious scholars know as being at the heart of the ideology. Indeed, some people follow the Greek gods and the traditional gods. That current religion of Greek and Hebrew ancient idols is dubbed "Neopaganism."
Literature review
Literature is commonly established as grouped artworks by different authors and from a different perception targeted to convince humankind on the frankness of the information. From English men, religion is sacred and vast; thus, no relevant conclusion van be made. It is composed of ideas from Christian literature, symbols, and other features, especially in the modern world. Charles Taylor, who tries to relate secular and religion in contemporary society, argues that secular age has not attempted to drive religion away. Still, the era exemplifies the new religious position by itself. Faith remains a dominant ideology though optional in modern society (abbey,2014). Religion, like literature, is also, at least in part, a human invention. Thus literature, be it God or religion, cannot be exposed to any foreign rule. Proper research may have or may not have religious aspects. Philosophy and religion are not inherently linked. Religious doctrine can be seen as a collection of structures, a group of concepts and values, or an experience such as the practices, attitudes, and daily life of individuals and communities both of those have complicated relationships with one another. Many of those are influenced by literature and, in effect, impact it.
The Faith in Literature (American Academy of Religion,1988). The literature and theology are deeply intertwined. Not unexpectedly, it is indeed spirituality a central element in writing, but this has operated as the very communist manifesto of many literary works from ancient times to the present times. Some of the set themes in literature that explain religion include love themes, betrayal, patriotism, gracefully interaction, and motherhood.
The government has played a significant role in developing religion by advocating religion through the constitution and other agencies. Globally, most countries have observed faith in being a Christian family or the Islamic religion.
Literature books that address issues concerning religion have developed up to date. Some of these books include the bible, which explains about Christian beliefs and the doctrine. The Islamic faith, as well as a Quran that defines their customs (American Academy of Religion,1988). Using religious books as a source of law in a court of law and the establishment of kadhi courts has shown a government effort to support religion.
conclusion
Although sociology has made a significant impact on working on the interaction among religion and social, political, and economic change in developing countries, the connection among faith and explicitly international development has been much less emphasized. I found no novels and just a couple of publications dealing specifically with this relationship. Although much of the studies conducted in gender or human rights religious studies, for example, apply to the creation, the correlation has not been made explicitly. For example, there are several studies about the ways religion works
