1. Backsliding into legalism: Non-believers were legalistic people who believed and followed the law religiously and rigorously. To such extend that these rules and regulations become a part of their daily routine and life. Once covered they had to realize and understand that Jesus is above the Law.

With them, one could wipe off one's sins. Yet, mere money wasn't enough - the sinner also had to repent his deeds. In the middle Ages, it was typical to divide people into three groups of social station: those who fought (the bellatoeres, the nobility), those who prayed (the orators, the clergy) and those who worked (the laboratories, the peasants). The priests, the monks and the nuns thus had a remarkable task in society; their prayers and Masses were serving God on behalf of the entire society. The position of the church in the middle Ages is reflected by the fact that it was almost alone responsible for education until the late middle Ages.
The white settlers often found it difficult to understand the culture of the plains Indians because they had a rather large clash of cultures on things such as religion, warfare, land, government, exposure, education, polygamy and their ways of life. One of the reasons the white settlers found the Indians so hard to understand was the difference in religion, Indians believed the Great Spirit Waken Tanka created the world and ruled over it. They believed all things had spirits and that spirits could influence their lives. They also thought of the world as a great circle this was reflected in their everyday lives which is shown by the presence of circles on many articles of their clothing and on the designs of tipis. The white settlers saw the Indians’ belief in the spirits as superstitious and pagan nonsense as they believed in God and that God created the world and ruled over it so some saw the Indians as people who ‘needed saving’ this led to some of the white settlers trying to convert the Indians to Christianity which the Indians did not like.
We took their wives and also much booty, which we divided equitably amongst us, so that none might have reason to complain”. (Homer, 800 B.C.E) in the middle of the chapters the men ruled the world and the woman were treated like dirt.

They king and queen and their people will always be protected by the gods and goddess because they were always praying to the gods or goddess.
To her, the religious laws were more important than the governmental laws she was being asked to follow. Antigone and Creon would never see eye to eye on which law ultimately should be followed because of their own individuality. While Antigone had to pay the price for disobeying the governmental law, she ultimately had the right to give her brother a proper burial. One of the main themes in the play Antigone is Civil Disobedience. Often society has laws that individuals feel are immoral, or unjust.
Religion is perhaps the strongest force in society. But what is religion? Some would say that our distant ancestors invented it as a way to explain the strange and mysterious world around them; Others say that religion is simply truth. In its broad sense religion is a complex system of beliefs, practices, and attitudes by which people relate their lives to supernatural beings or principles and shapes the way we act as people towards other humans, plants and animals. There are many different religions in the world today; Some of these religions are growing, while some are decreasing in the number of their members.

Throughout history religion is what governed countries, brought people together, and gave morals and rules for everyday life.

People who were thought to be condemned to hell were to be separated from those who were pure. Their whole world was controlled by religion, and their daily lives revolved around it.
It is the teaching that takes these events, stories, myths and presents them to the followers in a way that allows them to understand and whole heartedly believe in. Because not every religion has writings from the inception of the religion, it is necessary for these teachers to pass down this information and knowledge verbally whether one on one or in a group setting. This makes the experience more intimate and allows the ideals being passed down to go from myth or story to reality. Most if not every religion today uses books, scrolls or writings of some sort to document the present and to teach the past, means that the texts used in the religion are incredibly important.
