   QUESTION 2

      True
      False
      

      QUESTION 3

      1. The word “cosmology” means someone’s perspective on the universe, their worldview.

         QUESTION 4

         1. In discussing the Latin origins of the term “religion,” the authors note that it may derive either from re-legere (meaning “to re-read”) or re-ligare (“to bind fast”). Thus, “religion” carries connotations both of handing down traditions so that future generations can (re-) read them also, and of creating complex forms by which humans and God or the gods are bound together.

            
            True
            
            False

               True
               
               False
               

               
               

               QUESTION 6

                  True

                     True
                     
                     False

                        False
                        

                        
                        

                        QUESTION 9

                           1. According to chapter 1 of the Ring book, people disagree about whether it’s more accurate to say that religion represents humans’discovery and discernment of order already present within the universe or that religion represents humans’ attempts at creating such order.
