Assess the view that religion no longer acts as a 'shared universe of meaning' for people today

Religions were, in their beginnings, not only a matter of faith for their faithful, but also a way through which many natural and social events could be explained without the use of science: thus, it was established that certain natural events occurred as God's designs, and faith was appealed to to achieve a certain social cohesion.

With the passage of time and the development of science, religions have lost this functionality, becoming more and more abstract manifestations, devoid of any empirical weight and assimilable only to faith and devotion.

Therefore, religions today do not include a shared universe of meaning, but have been mutating to be organizations on which the worship of God is organized.

i disagree that there is little difference between adult female development and adult male development. sociological studies comparing female and male pathways to adulthood, revelead that there are sustancial differences between them. particularly, female and male differ from timing of marriage, when they began to live with children and the likelihood of combining wife/husband and parent roles.
