It touches upon every part of our lives. Society nurtures us from the cradle and deposits us in our grave. From start to finish there is the the involvement of religion, typically some variant of Christianity in the context of Europe and America.

When one thinks about it one realizes that the church often manifests within the structure provided by the existing state. When we are born we are registered at a church. Before we are able to walk we are already defined as being of this faith, made official through baptism. And so this continues throughout one’s early life, both within the structure of the family and that of education.
