According to Catherine Albanese, the four Cs of a religious system are creeds (explanations about the meaning of human life), codes (rules that govern everyday behavior), cultuses (rituals to act out the understandings expressed in creeds and codes), and communities (groups of people either formally or informally bound together by the creed, code, and cultus they share) (see Albanese, America: Religions and Religion, “Introduction”). This assignment requires students to apply this framework to a non-religious group in which they participate, and then to analyze its effectiveness and usefulness. Choose a non-religious group in which you participate, either formally or informally. This may be a student club, a sports team, a fandom, a hobby group, or even family. Your first paragraph should apply Albanese’s four Cs to this group: what is its creed, its code, its cultus, and its community? Your second paragraph should analyze how well this framework applies to your group. Does it make sense to consider this group a religion? Why or why not? Submit your assignment as a Word document, minimum 250 words.
