Verbal Question

Read carefully the passage given below and answer the question

Let’s try to be clear as to what religion isn’t. Firstly, it isn’t morality. It isn’t being good or doing good. Many atheists have been exceptionally virtuous people, and many genuinely religious people have been exceptionally weaked. This does not mean that religion isn’t concerned about our behaviour. Of course it is: in fact, it adds its own severer penalties to those which nature and society impose upon the offender. More serious still, bad behaviour- even ordinary, respectable self-seeking – upsets a religious man’s relationship with the Divine, and is apt to leave him weak and lonely and miserable. Nevertheless, religion isn’t matter of how we act outwardly but rather of the inner attitude from which our behaviour springs. For instance, Ram and Sheela can do precisely the same thing in the same way (such as giving their lives to save a drowning man) yet the inside story is quite different. Sheela acts out of a sense of social duty or humanitarian compassion, whereas Ram may act from a motive which means nothing to Sheela – from a love for God which is necessarily love for all God’s creatures, or even identification with them. Ram feels he is that drowning man.
