medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
While we're at it, a couple of respondents mentioned using "faith" as a
synonym for "religion," but that is also a "loaded" Christian term, and
distorts the subject as well. It could be argued that classical Judaism
is not primarily a religion of "faith," but of "practice," and similarly
for various other "religion" options (including some of the "pagani"
and/or "polytheistic" as well as "philosophic" perspectives). Basically,
perhaps, the problem is with the definitions used for "religion" -- but
that's an area perhaps left unexplored in this particular thread!
