Theology - what's it called when religion answers everyday needs (details)?

Asked by MyNewtBoobs (19059points) February 9th, 2011

I’m blanking on a term for when religion answers the everyday needs of people (rain, sun, food, health, a child, finding a lost watch, healing a blister) instead of the bigger, more abstract answers (why am I here, what’s my purpose, what comes after this life)?

Note: This isn’t the appropriate forum for your opinions. Answers such as “hypocrisy” or “delusional thinking” will be flagged as unhelpful.
