Sometimes religion in society can bring about a sense of deindividuation, when the individual loses sense of themselves whilst taking on the group identity. Once people are enlosed into one group of religion they tend not to be so open minded about issues such as homosexuality, and having children out of wedlock, which is now more accepted into modern society. Also some people are now willing to commit suicide in the name of their faith. I do not agree with those who do take part in honour killings, as I feel that this is an unlawful act and especially how it may affect individual families. I also feel that when religion is made visible to people it can make them feel very uncomfortable. This then leads onto people not being willing to approach others from different religious backgrounds, and therefore resulting in conflicts over their individual beliefs. Certain acts that people carry out and the garments they wear maybe also be seen as irrational, as it does not fit in with the majority of societies views.
