Christianity has created practices, ways of life, and sets of ideas. Within Christianity there are also numerous denominations as well, with their minor differences. Another major world religion is Islam. Islam has also created practices, ways of life, and sets of ideas just like Christianity. “Muslims believe Allah as the sole God—creator,…

In ancient Rome, the society started as practicing paganism. In fact, many of the Christian celebrations today were actually at one point pagan. In Rodoifo Lanciani book Pagan and Christian Rome, he explains the slow transition from Paganism to Christianity and how it took 300 years of fighting to fully gain acceptance…

Surveys and research on the religiosity of young adults in recent years has unveiled the prolific notion of one being “spiritual but not religious”. Individualism and a lack of trust in the Church as being a source of Truth and knowledge have been the driving force for many young people to embrace this sentiment of faith. The Church is viewed as an obstacle to God, placing restrictions on one’s freedom of choices and lifestyles. However, subscribing to this “understanding of faith”, or lack…

Islam vs. Christianity From the establishment of these two religions to today’s modern world, both Islam and Christianity have evolved into two of the most practiced religions in the world. These two religions were actually founded in the same region but at different times. Christianity was founded in 41 A.D. by Jesus of Nazareth, while Islam was founded in 622 CE by the prophet Muhammad. Jesus of Nazareth is believed, by Christians to be the Messiah, the son of God.

The Abrahamic religions— Christianity, Judaism and Islam— have been at odds for most of their existence: from the Crusades, to the Holocaust, to the recent Iraq War.

Christianity first became an Asian religion, and prominent in Israel and Syria. Christianity then gradually progressed to become an African and European religion. There is no evident material culture of the Christian religion before 180 AD, and it was very common for early churches to be set in private dwellings, which included homes of the wealthy.

C.S. Lewis, author of “Mere Christianity,” stands alone from many other authors of Christian literature. Instead of opinionated doctrine convoluted to nonsense, Lewis offers a logical approach to the Christian view of life. Yet, he does this without hardly mentioning Christianity itself in the whole first book.
