\npositive or negative, will also impact your understanding of religion.  <\/span>Please include some discussion of your own
\nexperience of religion and how that experience has shaped your views.  <\/span>If you have no personal experience with religion,
\nthen please say so.  <\/span>You may also include
\nyour perceptions of religion.<\/span><\/p>\n
