What is one of the main features of a religious experience?

  1. Providing scientific evidence

  2. Building or strengthening faith

  3. Always occurring on holidays

  4. Involving mass hallucinations

The correct answer is: Providing scientific evidence

One of the main features of a religious experience is building or strengthening faith. This is because a religious experience is a personal encounter with the divine or spiritual that often results in a deepening of one's faith and belief in a higher power. The other options are incorrect, as a religious experience does not necessarily involve providing scientific evidence, always occurring on holidays, or involving mass hallucinations. While these may occur in some religious experiences, they are not defining features and do not apply to all religious experiences. Choosing any of these options would not fully encompass the complexities and diversity of religious experiences.
