What is profane?

When it comes to religion, it's important to understand that respecting the religious precepts of others is extremely healthy for living together in society. But we should also respect those who don't believe in any kind of religion. We know that we have the free will to identify with and embrace a religion or not, so we have to accept and respect everyone's choice, but that doesn't stop there being a dialogue between the different ways of expressing religiosity so that we can live together harmoniously in society.


What is the difference between profane and sacred?

The difference only occurs when we have an individual experience, in other words, what is common or profane for one, can be sacred for another, depending very much on the involvement with the experience lived. Religious experience also brings us significant changes in our social environment, by changing values, but we have to pay attention to the fact that we cannot impose the same thought on the other, because many battles have occurred and will still occur in our humanity due to religious imposition, it is part of our history, since the beginning and we have to accept the difference of thoughts and positions.


The elements that make up the sacred are understood to be immutable and disrespecting or going against them is considered a sin. The sacred is attributed a great power and a supernatural force, which believers believe is impossible to interfere with or change, because it is beyond our strength. The manifestation of the sacred can be explained or not, it depends a lot on the religious involvement that each person has. The experience with the sacred can be personal and also collective, but the involvement, the feeling is unique.

For the profane, everything is commonplace, they don't believe in religiosity or the sacred, they don't see the point in believing in what can't be explained. Our humanity must understand that we can think differently so that we can live in peace.
