CHAPTER

Reframing Religion: A Eurocentric Lens

This chapter explores the historical evolution of the concept of religion from a Eurocentric perspective, highlighting how European definitions imposed on non-European cultures led to misunderstandings and the creation of plural religions. The discussion critiques the Protestant framework shaping these perceptions and emphasizes the importance of recognizing religion as a fluid, discursive construct shaped by cultural interactions. By reflecting on varying interpretations across cultures, the chapter advocates for a more nuanced understanding of belief systems and the implications of applying Western-centric definitions.
