| Summary: | The basic idea behind religion is that the spiritual journey of mankind is essentially progressive. All the future developments of man lie concealed in this basic cell of spiritualism. Religionhas always been giving man a definite direction to help his behavioural policy. He accepts the teleological viewpoint towards his life and the world. Thus, man gives a definite meaning tohis life under the guidance and direction of religion. But in the twentieth century, human development has taken a new turn where man is influenced and guided more by materialistic and scientific attitudes than by approaches which are religious and teleological. With the rapid development of science and technology, man has marched rapidly from one triumphant conquest to another and as such begun to doubt the validity of spiritual truths. Thus, science has given a new dimension to man's life. |
