Faith-based

Faith comprises the ideologies that motivate individual actions and spiritual beliefs. Therefore, faith can be employed as a tool of oppression and manipulation in the hands of individuals or communities. Faith-based beliefs can be incredibly powerful, serving as universal guidelines of conduct that followers can abide by.

Totalitarian faith-based ideologies create social divisions that hinder the formation of a diverse interfaith community identity. Faith can create social divisions when it forcibly infringes on the lives…

The show was very interesting because as I watched the four students undergo faith based missions to test ingenuity and find…

Faith might be…

Religion in philanthropy and faith-based organizations have been frequently discussed in academic literature and research. Through this literature review, I will discuss the research on both. All major religions emphasize generosity to those in need. In Christianity, believers are called to love their neighbors (Seelarbokus, 2016). In Islam, there are the concepts of the zakat and sadaqua to care for those in need (Lambarra & Riener, 2015). Judaism stresses the importance of tithing to…

It is often said that faith, or religion, and reason are complementary sources of knowledge. However, this warrants critical appraisal, and I refute this claim using two premises. For the purpose of this argument, it must be made clear that it is faith that makes religion unreasonable. I propose that, reason and religion are fundamentally in conflict. Secondly, that because of this fundamental difference, it is unreasonable to believe something that is based on faith alone. Therefore, religious…
