<![CDATA[Hermeneutics, or the understanding and interpretation of the role of religion in the context of individual or societal life, positions religion as one of the guiding principles alongside others. In this position, the role of religion is subject to controversy, with at least two major groups: those who consider it important and those who see it as an obstacle to human life.
