While these researchers invariably understand certain aspects about a given religion, they tend to gloss over some of the more controversial and questionable activities that are practiced in other religions. In Creation of the Sacred: Tracks of Biology in Early Religions, Walter Burkert attempts to analyze common threads found in early religions in an attempt to find out the underlying…

By attire I mean the infamous caps and gowns; students wear these as a way of symbolizing that on that particular day they will be going through a rite of passage.
