principles and values that can eradicate greed, hatred and delusion that cause various conflicts and wars resulting in physical outbursts of violence culminating in global warfare. Some might say that religion is the main cause of wars and that without faith, there would have been no 9/11 attacks, Israeli-Palestinian conflicts, violent disputes over words in holy texts – even no Islamic State. However, according to UNESCO’s constitution, “Since wars begin in the mind of men, it is in the mind of…

world. It is a vexed question whether religion and science could complement each other because the religion starts where the science ends or vice versa. In the beginning of the 21st century little by little the existence of God was questioned and the faith/believe in science gained a footing. Christopher Hitchens published the 1st of May 2007 his life’s work: “God is not great – how religion poisons everything”. The book is written by the English-American author…

In The Presumption of Atheism , Michael Scriven argues that when arguments for the existence of God are unable to provide the evidence required to maintain this conclusion (and Scriven believes this to be the case for all such arguments) the only position that one can rationally maintain is atheism.

It makes one feel safe and complete, for they are comfortably nestled in a sea of warmth. Faith gives one something to confide in, be it a time of wellbeing or when all hope is lost. However, when stagnant, it can be catastrophically malignant towards others, in addition, it precludes cultural modernization, the key component responsible for the imperative process of…

It is incredible to me that religion is a common thread that links much of our world’s history and culture, and as a person of faith I would like to understand both the development of religion and its place in the modern world as well as how religion serves to both help and hinder our civilization. Throughout this project I would endeavor to research and explore the six major religions…
