Teaching Religion and Film

Religion can be a cause, cure, or correlate of stress. Religion can relieve the very stress that it causes, and so achieves an even more tenacious hold on believers. Since religious sentiment and sectarianism rises during times of increased personal or societal stress, unusual religious movements have sprung up during the times of rapid social change and uncertainty. Individuals stressed by lifestyle shifts – such as adolescents who recently left home, the newly divorced or bereaved or relocated, people facing illness or impending death, poverty, isolation, war, or incarceration – are more likely to get involved with unusual or innovative or charismatic religious movements
