Scotsman.com News - Politics - Religious leaders unite to oppose BNP RELIGIOUS leaders gathered in Glasgow yesterday to urge the public not to vote for the British National Party in next week’s European elections. The Christian, Muslim and Jewish leaders met to highlight their concerns about the BNP’s racist views and, in particular, their attempts to make political capital on the back of rising racial tensions in the South Side of Glasgow, one of the most ethnically diverse areas of Scotland.

Religious History: Protestant Nonconformity | British History Online Though the history of nonconformity in Birmingham may be said to begin logically in 1662, with the enforcement of the Act of Uniformity, religious revolt originated much earlier in the Puritan reform movement within the Established Church, and in the conflicts and innovations of the Civil War and the Interregnum. The dominant theme of the history of nonconformity in 19th-century Birmingham is the response made by the sects to the problems and opportunities involved in swift growth of population and accelerated industrialization. The working-class revolt against contemporary conditions, so strongly expressed in Birmingham Chartism, was reflected in the religious life of the city, directly in Arthur O'Neill's 'Christian Chartist Church' of 1840, (Footnote 88) and indirectly in the persistent appeal of Apocalyptical religions. www.british-history.ac.uk /report.asp?compid=22980   (12721 words)

Jefferson on Politics & Government: Freedom of Religion Because religious belief, or non-belief, is such an important part of every person's life, freedom of religion affects every individual. Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Every religious society has a right to determine for itself the times for these exercises and the objects proper for them according to their own particular tenets; and this right can never be safer than in their own hands where the Constitution has deposited it... etext.lib.virginia.edu /jefferson/quotations/jeff1650.htm   (2397 words)

The Publications Assistance Program: Religious Magazines and Newspapers in Canada Religious periodicals are magazines and newspapers that identify with a religious tradition to express and/or evoke a sense of the sacred through the recognition of a divine or trans-divine focus. In practice, members of different religious communities were quick to point out that many of their publications were actually ethnic publications that carry news of "home" or the community worldwide rather than concentrating on religious issues and stories. Where religious publications seem to play a role in training is the opportunity they give to young journalists and journalism students to work as interns or for short periods before moving on to more mainstream publications. www.pch.gc.ca /progs/ac-ca/progs/pap/pubs/religion/index_e.cfm   (16495 words)

RELIGIOUS LIBERALISM The third characteristic of a religious liberal is an unqualified affirmation of the separation of church and state. During the early 1950's, definitely an era of religious emotionalism, Congress passed without debate a bill authorizing the construction of a "Capital Prayer Room."

Following the principles of religious liberty which he and Madison had fought for, he concluded that prayer in the schools should be strictly voluntary and there should be a separate room for that purpose. www.class.uidaho.edu /ngier/305/foundfathers.htm   (8947 words)

Thomas Jefferson, religious freak [Free Republic] Jefferson's crazy religious ideas, shared by crazy representatives from 13 crazy colonies, are the reason we have a United States and the reason that We the People are in charge. In addition to fear of tyranny, many Founders displayed a huge amount of skepticism about religious claims (more in private than in public) because they were men of the Enlightenment their beliefs were based more on evidence than on tradition or faith. He did not question the validity of religious belief, but constructed his "wall" to protect religious freedom of conscience from the potentiality of one federally recognized religion. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a3969b00e48aa.htm   (8837 words)

Quotations that Support the Separation of State and Church Quotations supporting atheism, deism, or unorthodox religious views are included to the extent that they might be useful in debating against those who argue that the United States was established as a Christian nation or that the "founding fathers" would have accepted government support of any religious orthodoxy. Religious matters are to be separated from the jurisdiction of the state not because they are beneath the interests of the state, but, quite to the contrary, because they are too high and holy and thus are beyond the competence of the state. The lessons of religious toleration--a toleration which recognizes complete liberty of human thought, liberty of conscience--is one which, by precept and example, must be inculcated in the hearts and minds of all Americans if the institutions of our democracy are to be maintained and perpetuated. www.infidels.org /library/modern/ed_buckner/quotations.html   (18874 words)

Religious Movements Homepage: The Baha'i Baha'u'llah (Arabic for "Glory of God"), known before as Mizra Husayn-Ali, was imprisoned because he was the spirtual leader of the faith even though he did not condone violent action.

Thomas Jefferson letters 1817 The result of your fifty or sixty years of religious reading, in the four words, “Be just and good,” is that in which all our inquiries must end; as the riddles of all the priesthoods end in four more, “ubi panis, ibi deus.” What all agree in, is probably right. That is essentially a Quaker State, the fragment of a religious sect which, there, in the other States, in England, are a homogeneous mass, acting with one mind, and that directed by the Mother society in England. And you remember to have heard, that when the act for religious freedom was before the Virginia Assembly, a motion to insert the name of Jesus Christ before the phrase, “the author of our holy religion,” which stood in the bill, was rejected, although that was the creed of a great majority of them. yamaguchy.netfirms.com /jefferson/1817.html   (13558 words)
