The same concept applies to religion where without a practical sense of belief, there is no way to exercise the concept and ultimately follow that religion. Thinking and doing go hand in hand when applying the practical use of a “story”. However, the concept of "doing" is the main component of the two, by taking advantage of the practical use of a story, one is able to find the reasoning and morality behind the initial concept while simply thinking, anything is possible except that doesn't mean that is also probable. This, for example, can be directly related to the major monotheistic religions where everyone says they are a good person. However, the practicality of religion is not formed until religious contexts are practiced and being a “good” person is truly understood on an individual basis. The notion of thought can be useful, however it serves more of an individual palate where the idea is only received and perceived by the specific individual which can be seen in the extremist's perception of their specific beliefs followed, but ultimately the notion of doing is more directly related to the topic of religion because it allows the individual to absorb the surrounding environment in the process of action and therefore perceive that he is in a more open minded
