for documenting the three-point program for the Catholic Worker community. Though nonviolence philosophy was a topic of little recent interest, the strategies have been noted in several times in history and seems to have been well understood by the religion. Critics of nonviolence have cited weaken the government and increase the problem of crime. Despite these criticisms, there does appear to be a strong correlation between nonviolence and society, with successful nonviolent community,…

the way mankind views religion, civil matters, and independent thought. At many points in the recorded history of the world, religion has been a point of horrible violence and unfortunate murders, often by religious leaders or people attempting to follow the principles proposed by those same leaders. Those escaping their home nations for the religious freedom in the New World, or North America, became those most likely to persecute others for being of different religion than they were.…

system, there is no real appeal to join the American Atheist organization. The only appeal for atheists to join the American Atheists is to become an activist and to join in the efforts to separate church and state. While I do think that American religions are on decline and secular humanism, agonism and atheism are on the rise I do not think this means this organization is growing. It is rather people just becoming…

As any religion it is hard to depict one definition and group of people who are Christian. The problem is that there are so many different branches of Christianity people argue that other groups are supposedly not “Christian” because of the criterion each group uses. According to Martin there are two groups of Christians: the one group believes the belief of god resides in the virgin birth, resurrection are necessary for the Christian identity. While the other group thinks belief in god is…

Today’s workforce is becoming more diversified in ethnicity, language, and religion. Religion plays an important role in the values people hold, but many would prefer it didn 't not have a place in their work environment.

Organizations are asked to offer policies which accommodate religious beliefs while maintaining a neutral, productive atmosphere. There has been a 96% increase in…

On the other side of the coin, religion has sometimes acted as an oppressive or divisive force such as in the suppression of Aboriginal spirituality, the tensions between Catholicism and Protestantism that was a feature of Australian society until the 1960s and the tensions between certain…

the religious and home of the religious illiterates. Prothero begins his compelling case with the opening statement of Americans today being both “deeply religious and profoundly ignorant about religion” (Prothero 1). Throughout his book, it is transparent that Prothero fervently believes that religion matters- it is an essential factor of culture, played a fundamental role throughout history, and should no longer be neglected in the classroom. While the United States is one of the most…

the primary religion in the United States. Bellemy did not include any variation of God when he wrote the pledge. Perhaps he understood that this very sentiment goes against the Constitution on which America was built on. Looking at religious statistics as of 2017, approximately 70% of America is Christian; the other 40% is not. Saying the pledge effectively alienated 40% of our population; which is the opposite of being united. If there is freedom of speech and freedom of religion, then why…

of intolerance because acknowledging that someone else is right would be lived as a kind of humiliation since it would mean that I'm wrong. However, it also appears obvious to defend tolerance as a result of the mistakes from the different wars of religion. It is in this perspective that John Locke wrote his Letter on Tolerance, and I am going to try to analyse it. This Letter is part of the field of moral and political philosophy and its purpose is about religious tolerance. According to the…

Religion influences human life in many different aspects, starting from social life up to political and economic aspects. The correlation between religion and development was a case for academic study for a long time. Theorists like Max Weber predicted that religion will fail to survive in a new industrial world where secularization became a main principle of governance . Providing support to this theory, many developed Western states witnessed declines in religious affiliation, a weakening of…
