Abstract

Generally, in Africa and Uyo, Nigeria in particular, religion is not only a social phenomenon but an overriding force to reckon with. Therefore, when religious devotees of different religions do not comprehend the subject, their actions breed social misunderstanding and conflict among religions in society. Phenomenological study of religions is aimed at bringing the essence of religion to the doorpost of its practitioners. The methodology adopted in this chapter was historical and analytical. The methods exposed the researcher to both primary and secondary information about the work. Findings show that there is a misunderstanding of the essence of religion by some adherents of both the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and Christianity; each believes that his/her religion is the best in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. The work concludes that when religious culture vis-à-vis the essence of religion is properly understood, love for each other will be realized.
