Essay on Comparative Religious Study: “Elite Religion” vs. “Popular Religion.”
a. First, opine your view if religion can be divided into elite and popular types. If true, then there will be no Buddhists or Hindus or Christians or Muslims, but “religious elites” and “religious commoners.” In other words, there are only two religions in the world, that is, elite religion and popular religion.
Second, write if the elites can only obtain salvation/liberation (assume that the divine reality like Dharma or God exists) because the religious commoners have a mistaken understanding of and belief in the divine reality. Write in no more than 400 words but no less than 300 words.
