  Religion seems to be held highly in the times of Modernism. Established rules, and structure were not only in the classroom but also in the religious buildings as well with reciting of scriptures and psalms to bring one closer to God. Today 95% of people today believe in God or a universal Spirit. "Today spirituality means mystical experience, not truth. We can seek and savor any experience we please, as long as we remain inclusive and tolerant (Leffel and McCallum 1)." This is a postmodern way people view religion because this relates back to how in our postmodern era it is all about instant gratification. Along with religion people want to be pleased and have answers immediately. This website indicated the two cardinal sins of postmodern religious culture are intolerance and objectivity and how post modern religious culture differs from that of the 'fundamentalists' idea of reason and not discovering truth.
