Question

Which one of the following is not a way people are socialized by religion?

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. An individual’s personal internal experience of a divine being leads to their faith.

Explanation:

The word "socialization" refers to the process, experiences, and institutions that make an individual learn the values, ideologies, norms and cultural elements of its context, including institutions such as religion, school, and family. In terms of religion, this institution plays an important role in socialization because through this, people can learn about the material culture or the objects and places that are considered as sacred; also they can know the way to behave and interact in certain places and during shared experience and they learn roles related to religious celebrations and life. However, an individual’s personal internal experience of a divine being leads to their faith is not part of socialization in religion as this is personally developed and therefore cannot be guided or taught by any institution.
