Overall, Religion 106: What is Belief? has been extremely eye-opening and enriching. I have learned plenty about different beliefs and tolerance and have found many answers to questions I have asked myself for a long time.

Athletes may serve as role models, but they should be able to retain the right to use their social influence to create the impact they want to make on the world.
