Religion and Mind Does religion meets with mind or they are opposites that cannot be met? How was the relationship between them throughout the ages? The research in our hands attempts to answer these questions and to track the history of the relationship that has been experienced in situations of conflict, strife, conflict, truce and periods of convergence and harmony.

Before reviewing the history of the relationship between faith and mind, we must define the concept of mind.

The mind is a trait entrusted with moral reasoning.

to be mind , means control himself out of vagary ..

while the most comprehensive definition of the mind at philosophers: "it is the sum of psychological functions related to acquiring knowledge, such as perception, retrieving, remembering, imagining, governance and reasoning.

As for the relationship of the mind to religion historically has experienced cases of tides and engagement and convergence.

In Greek civilization we found freedom of mind from the pressure of religious belief and the influence of its men, while in the Middle Ages (the era of saints) there was no conflict between mind and faith, but there was a complete harmony between them.

Religious persecution began in Europe when Romanian politics came out of its law.

During the first two centuries there was persecution of followers of the new religion.

The campaigns of abuse did not end until Caesars adopted the new religion.

The Church changed its behavior after the conquest of power, as it tightened its grip on skeptics, racists and atheists (the Augustine Principles).

It was reported that the vigilance in the mental stream was reversed by his opponents of the priesthood.

We witnessed bloody conflicts in which many of the pioneers of modern thought were executed.

In the thirteenth century, the gap between mind and theology began to widen and conflicts continued and the complete separation between them began by rejecting all revelations because of their lack of mental proof.

The conflict between faith and reason continued in later centuries until scientific theories emerged that proved the faults of ancient religious concepts about the world, such as the theory of Galle, Newton, Darwin, Kepler, Laplace and others.

The power of the priesthood was removed politically, and religion was excluded from public affairs.
