While there are other factors that many claim achieve the same separation none are as ancient and relevant as religion. Humans buried their dead before the neolithic revolution and the rise of civilization. The idea of supernatural forces is built into our brains. And today, even on this late date of 2014, religion is still a huge factor when it comes to our minds and our culture. Western culture is what…

a term that first arose among the Christian community of southern Europe during late antiquity as a descriptor of religions other than their own, or the related Abrahamic religions; i.e., judaism and Islam.

Once the Abrahamic religions started to become more widely adopted (in processes known as Christianization and Islamization), various names…

World Religions is categorized into a special group of courses: the ones that directly help me in the real world. Partaking in World Religions has given me the gift of religious plurality—I learned valuable knowledgable about the great religions, the history behind them, and that religious scripture cannot always be taken literally.

studied the Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – for 20 years while authoring a great number of scientific papers. In his critical study of the three religions, he came to realize that the “search for God who demands our ‘faith in the unseen’ has been the most difficult test of our human intelligence and consciousness.” He then proceeded to write a series of books critical of the aforementioned religions, starting with Judaism in In the Beginning: Hijacking of the Religion of…

I had very little, if no, exposure to Asian religions. Not for a lack of theological teachings; I was taught the histories and beliefs of the Abrahamic religions, but that was all. However, after attending a few sessions of the class, I had a discussion about religion with the more religious members of my family.

This research paper will explain how each of these religions have teachings common to the earliest of the group such as Hinduism, as well as other comparisons that they all believe in life after death amongst other comparison and contrast between each of them (Ghazzawi, 2016). The similarities between these three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Hinduism & Christianity) are stronger than their differences,…
