Philosophy
Everything you need to know about the nature of existence, and the questions it raises.
Philosophy of Religion
Philosophy of religion is one of the major branches of philosophy. It concerns questions that arise from the existence of religion, and how to answer them. Examples of questions in philosophy of religion include whether or not God exists, whether or not religious experiences are real, and whether or not the existence of evil undermines religion. In brief, philosophy of religion is about why some human beings are religious and others are not.
