| | Paul Tillich’s definition of faith is one that is ambiguous at first. He defines faith as the centered act of being ultimately concerned. He explains in his book Dynamics of Faith that faith does not always have religious content. One can be faithful toward their nation or money or success. He approaches the idea of faith from an almost secular point of view though the ambiguity of his definition can be dissolved if one looks upon faith as an ultimate concern for the ultimate reality. He says in his book, “The content of faith matters infinitely for the life of the believer, but it does not matter for the formal definition of faith". |

Religion sheds much of its collective and communal overtones and becomes largely a personal concern. Where experience and empirical knowledge fail, religion offers answers. In societies imbued with scientific ethos, the range of these explanations is narrowed, and they are less implicitly believed. In fact, until science can provide all answers, religion will continue to illuminate some of the imponderables of the universe. |

| | In today’s world, all that we see or hear is the mindless killing of innocents in the name of religion. Be it the total destruction of the World Trade Center, or the serial bomb blasts in Mumbai, India, or the senseless massacre of the Christians in some eastern block countries, or vandalism of churches in Orissa in India, it is the innocent people, mothers, fathers, who suffer the most. |
