Abstract: Religion is all about boundaries: defining and situating them on the one hand, moving and removing them on the other. The study of religion is rife with categories that beg for differentiation. There is the canonical distinction between the sacred and the profane, the division of the religious from the secular, and the separation of church from state. Religions sometimes submit to territorial boundaries but at other times defy historical ones. Changes to distinctions that emerge in human experiences and are navigated anew in each personal biography keep religious boundaries continually shifting. βΈ™
