Preferred term

religion and housing  

Definition

  • Home can be the primary religious space for some (especially noncongregational) religions; for others, it may be a secondary site, and for still others, home may not be a place for religion. In Hinduism, with its emphasis on individual communion with the divine and less on congregational prayer, the home is an important locus for religion, and the house takes on special significance as sacred space.
