In The Religious Beliefs of America’s Founders: Reason, Revelation, and Revolution by Gregg L. Frazer, Frazer is explaining that many of the Founding Fathers were not Christian or Atheist or even that they are not Deist, as is commonly argued, they were Theistic Rationalist. Frazer does this by firstly pointing out that Theistic Rationalism was a major belief during the foundering of the United States. Since Theistic Rationalism was a major belief, the Founders were also influenced by many…

According to monotheistic religions (i.e. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism), there is one singular deity, and he alone is the Architect and Upholder of the cosmos. Also, whether he be identified as Allah or Jesus Christ, this singular, and indivisible God bestowed upon humanity such prophets as Noah (Nuh), Abraham (Ibrahim), Moses (Musa), Solomon (Sulayman), David (Daud), Ezekiel (Dhul-Kifl), Jesus (Isa), etc. Furthermore, individuals ought to adhere to the Decalogue (bequeathed upon us by God…

One of the hermeneutical strategies used by Nazianzus is the incomprehensibility of God. God is something that can never be fully described by human words, as the subject of God “is impossible to [express], and yet more impossible to conceive,” as no human can see the face of God and lived to tell the tale on this side of eternity. Nazianzus defines God by what God is, but does not try to “comprehend the whole of so great a subject as this,” because it is utterly impossible. Dr. Valeria A.…

The word Vodou, also known as Voodoo, means “spirit” or “deity” in the languages of West Africa. It is a religion that encompasses philosophy, medicine, and justice.

Throughout Hume’s Dialogues, Philo takes the position of the skeptic, questioning the arguments of both Cleanthes and Demea. If it were not for his occasional approbation of God’s existence, the reader would be led to consider him an atheist. This makes it all the stranger when, in Part XII, he suddenly supports an argument for God’s existence from design. Far from criticizing the design argument, as he does a number of times earlier in the dialogues, he says that “no man can be so hardened… as……

Pharaoh Akhenaten was a controversial ruler, too uninvolved with public interest to be popular among his subjects. Whether it be forcing new ideas upon the people or his complete disregard for their safety and well-being, Akhenaten’s approval rating was so low that the pharaoh was all but erased from history by his successors. Little is known about Akhenaten himself. His reign was short-lived- only lasting sixteen years. His main wife, Nefertiti, was likely seen by him as an equal. The two had…

The same deity may be male in one village and female in another. The pantheon of deities is called the Orisha.
