Instinct
We all have natural instincts
that make sure we get things
like food, water, and air.
Instincts also include
some emotions such
as the fear of fierce dogs.
These instincts are the type
of thinking that is shared
by animals, but they are
not governed by logic. This
does not mean that instincts
do not make sense—they are
essential to our survival.
Faith
All religions are based on
faith, which involves believing in
something that cannot be proved.
There is no logical reason to
believe in a god, but a lot of
people do—even if they do not
practice any religious rituals—
