SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1An idea that I find intellectually engaging is the relationship between people and religion. My family is Catholic, but I haven't found a religion that speaks to me which is why I am so interested in the relationship between people and their respective religions. People are so animate about their religions that they will even risk death to defend them. There are hundreds upon hundreds of religions. Virtually every one of these religions claims that it is the "only legit" religion. Who is to say that one religion is more correct than the other? It can't be determined, but religious groups continue to attempt to persuade the rest of the world that their religion is the "right" one.
It is very ironic that most religions share common virtues but despise one another. Many condemn theft, adultery, and murder along among other sins; however, they are so focused on their differences that they completely overlook their similarities.

This is not an "A+" paper.
At best, this essay presents a superficial overview of the current state of religion, including a rather exaggerated view of the power of religion in modern politics. However, it does nothing to probe the reasons people have been religious in one sense or another for as long as they have been people. It does nothing to consider whether there is an innate desire for humans to finds a divine source for the unexplained matters in their life. It does not even consider the argument that religion is a good source of social cohesion. In short, there really is not enough substance here to call this an "A+" paper.
