3.5 #Class

Before I started digging into lesson 3.5, #Class, I was questioning myself of possible connections between the role of class and the religious study, and I could not find any answer other than a fact that wealthy people often have more expensive religious practice than someone from poor class income. From the story of Allison, I realized that I have failed to think of how poverty could restrict people’s access to religions or any spiritual guidance, and I felt quite guilty for this neglect. With this in mind, I come to understand that there are strong correlations between class and religion. As we all learned from the past lessons that religion is diverse within itself, however, each class in society can exercises religion in different ways due to their difference circumstance. These differences can grow even more when the gap between social classes become larger, and it does not limit to religion practice. Ultimately, this can lead people in different class to have distinct moral belief. #IntroReluh
