Preferred term

religious orientation and diversity  

Definition

  • The way in which people espouse and enact their religious beliefs and values constitutes a religious orientation. For example, Christians follow the way of life that Jesus taught, using the Bible as a guide, while agnostics subscribe to a religious orientation rooted in doubt—believing that humans can neither prove nor disprove God's existence.
