Human Science

I do not believe that religion is a human science, but I do believe that the study of religion is. Religion itself simply defines what a person believes. In order to see what the effects of that religion have on a person and that person’s actions, one needs to actually study what the religion entails. I guess what I’m trying to say is that religion is something explained by human science, such as the brain is explained through psychology. The brain itself is not a human science, but the fields that study the brain are. I believe that the same logic applies to religion.
