The religiosity as human development element

Abstract:

The study analyzes and interprets religiosity in its territorial context, seeking to understand the collective identities and the dynamics of religion as properties of these identities. The research was based on deductive method and sources that were made possible: newspapers, websites, books, articles, interpreted in the light of the religious categories. If religion is linked to a culture it is important to determine this culture. To enshrine the world, the religious man gives the full meaning of a sacred space as opposed to all the rest, as being without form and meaning.

Key words:
religiosity; territory; human development; culture
