The correct answers are social interaction; collective realities.
Answer 1: Religion is created by social interaction. According to the sociologist, Emile Durkheim, religion is a product of shared norms, values and beliefs that serve the collective good of a society. In other words religion is a purely socially constructed phenomenon rather than a creation of God or a higher being.
Answer 2: Religious expressions represent collective realities. This means that the way in which we practice or express religion is something individuals belonging to a religion collectively share. For instance, individuals belonging to a certain religion share the same norms,customs and traditions that unifies them and provides them with a sense of social solidarity.
