About Nature of Religion

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The Nature of Religion unit brings together material on what religion is and how believers live it. The mind map NATURE OF RELIGION opens with the supernatural dimension, the belief in beings or powers beyond the natural world. Other maps look at Belief in God, including religious upbringing and reasons for believing, and at Believing in Allah mind map, which covers the design argument and religious experience.

Where to start

Begin with the NATURE OF RELIGION mind map to get the big picture. Then move to Religion definitions and Religion and animal rights for attitudes across Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism and Islam. If you are working on keywords, the RE GCSE Keywords flashcards and the quiz R.E GCSE 2014 Key Words cover terms such as afterlife and revelation.

  1. Read a mind map on one topic.
  2. Test yourself with flashcards.
  3. Take a quiz to see what stuck.

Using quizzes and maps together

Maps show how ideas connect, while quizzes show what you can recall. After a map such as Religion and animal rights, try a quiz on the same theme, then go back to the branches you missed. The Year 8 Religion Quiz asks about communities and covenants, and the Social Dimension of Religion quiz suits a later stage.

Exams and levels

Most resources are secondary level. Listed resources mention GCSE Religious Studies, Eduqas and WJEC GCSE, A-level Religious Studies and HSC Studies of Religion, so check the wording against your own course. Teachers will find notes, slides and many Year 8 and Year 9 revision maps ready to share.
