All conditional things are impermanance, including the state of the 'mind'. Mind is the fore-runner of every thought, speech and action. We would be living a aimles and directional-less life if the changing mind is now subdued and religion provide us the avenue, path or platform to live a guided life.
Answer from a Catholic
I can give you my personal take as a believing Christian. Religion is defined in Fr. Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary, as "the moral virtue by which a person is disposed to render to God the worship and service he deserves."
.
Now, God made me, and as the Old Baltimore Catechismsays:
Who made us? God made us.
Why did God make us? God made us to show forth His goodness and to share with us His everlasting happiness in heaven.
.
What must we do to gain the happiness of heaven? To gain the happiness of heaven we must know, love, and serve God in this world.
Now, if you put these two together, you come up with the obvious answer. Religion is not "related" to your everyday life. Religion is not related to your everyday life, it should be your everyday life.
.
If you look at the lives of the saints, these are the people that loved God "with their whole heart, their whole mind ..." in other words, these are the people that actually did what God requested of them. They put Him first in their lives, and everybody and everything that they loved in this world, they loved because it was something that He created and asked them to love.
.
Religion is NOT related to your everyday life, it is there to inform and guide your everyday life. If religion is something that you can separate from your everyday life and relate it to it, then you have failed, and the religion that you have is not the one that Our Blessed Lord is asking of you.
Each religion needs to speak for itself. In Judaism: the typical religious Jew - probably the majority of them - tends to be a white-collar worker who, in addition to a regular job, attends synagogue services morning and evening each day. Many also attend a daily "Daf Yomi" class in which one page of the Talmud is taught each day.
Religious Jews tend to get married relatively young (early twenties) and have large families (six to ten children is commonplace); and family life is paramount in importance.
The parents are deeply involved in the education of their children. They foot the bill for private-school for the children because of the importance of a Jewish education.
Daily life in the home is replete with mitzvah-observances. Blessings are said over all foods and drinks; Torah-festivals and Sabbath are observed in the home, and the children are taught portions from the Torah on a daily or weekly basis.
Though conversation is typically in English, it is seasoned with hundreds of Hebrew and Yiddish expressions, many of them expressing religious concepts.
The kosher diet is adhered to. Clothing will be more or less Western (modern) in style (depending on the particular Jewish community), but it is always modest in style.
Religious Jewish women have a tightly-knit community of their own; each woman has a close circle of friends who constantly share and help each other. Many women attend weekly classes in various subjects of Torah or outlook.
