The opposition may be known as a progressive and changing process that satisfying temporal or individual needs in keeping or developing such meaningful systems, is of an important role. On this basis, in religious opposition in which each event is commented in the shadow of a sacred being and belief in it, a religious man resorts to some kinds of mental, emotional and functional opposition and takes such style of life called faithful life or pure life. One`s strong belief, causing power against vicissitudes, patience to others and against pains and difficulties, exhibits a religious life.
