01Religion and Life
This compulsory domain, Religion and Life, examines ultimate questions: what counts as religion, whether belief in God is rational, why suffering exists, what a person is, and how religious convictions should shape decisions about birth and death. Questions reward accurate exposition of positions and, more heavily, evaluation applied to a concrete case rather than a list of theories. Substantive definitions name the content (Tylor's "belief in spiritual beings"; Otto's numinous). Functional definitions name the work religion does (Durkheim's sacred/profane binding a society; Tillich's "ultimate concern").
