Glossary of Vocational Terms Members of a religious institute of women who are not bound by choir duty or engaged in the distinctive apostolate of the rest of the community.

Myths And Mischief of the Religious Right   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) Religious Right activists have tried for decades to make light of Jefferson's "wall of separation" response to the Danbury Baptists, attempting to dismiss it as a hastily written note designed to curry favor with a political constituency. Of all the lies the Religious Right spreads about separation of church and state, this one -- still frequently espoused by Pat Robertson -- is perhaps the most offensive to church-state separationists because it attempts to taint a vital American principle with the brush of communism. Voluntary student-initiated religious exercises were reaffirmed by the Supreme Court 1990, when the justices upheld the Equal Access Act, which permits students to form religious clubs at public high schools under certain conditions. www.sullivan-county.com /bush/mythes.htm   (3373 words)

A Historical Outline of Modern Religious Criticism in Western Civilization Both his religious views and his views on government were highly controversial in his day however, and thus he lived a reclusive life and published most of his works anonymously in order avoid persecution. Taught to attach much importance to belief in religious doctrines, and to mere forms and ceremonies of religious worship, the slightest disagreement among theological dogmatists is oftentimes sufficient to inflame their minds, already excited by bigotry, and to lead them to anathematize and destroy each other without pity, mercy, or remorse. Religious criticism in the Freethought era is distinguished from the earlier Enlightenment era by being much less academic and much more popular - it’s when religious criticism moved out of the ranks of the elite and into the mainstream. www.rationalrevolution.net /articles/religious_criticism.htm   (17162 words)

argentin.html   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) The constitutional and historical antecedents of Argentina are contrary to religious liberty.4 During the colonial period, there was an official religion, Roman Catholicism, without any possibility for freedom of worship, as was enacted by the statutes, regulations, or constitutions of 1815, 1817, 1819, and 1826. The Secretary for Religious Affairs maintains that "non-catholic creeds have other status, not inferior, but different."11 Although the government allows foreign missionaries to proselytize, it requires them to register with the Secretariat of Worship in the Foreign Ministry.12 This may lead to a bias on who may or may not proselytize. Currently, all non-Catholic religious groups who wish to have their incorporation papers approved, and be recognized by the state, have to organize themselves as civil institutions, similar to sports, professional, or cultural associations. religiousfreedom.lib.virginia.edu /rihand/Argentina.html   (2376 words)

Religion and the New Republic (Religion and the Founding of the American Republic, Library of Congress Exhibition) The principal religious innovation produced by the Kentucky revivals was the camp meeting.

In 1839 J. Maze Burbank exhibited at the Royal Society in London this watercolor of "a camp meeting, or religious revival in America, from a sketch taken on the spot."

Thomas Jefferson's Knowledge of the First Amendment The Religious Right often denounces Thomas Jefferson's famous metaphor of "a wall of separation between church and state." They say Jefferson is an unreliable source on the subject of church-state relations, because he was out of the country during the drafting of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. In fact, he was still one of the main leaders, but happened to also be serving his country abroad at the time. And in 1819, Madison observed that "the number, the industry and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church and state." www.humanismbyjoe.com /Jefferson_Knowledge_of_1st_Amend.htm   (546 words)

Americans United: America's Legacy of Religious Liberty The constitutional principle that ensures religious liberty is the separation of church and state. In 1819, he wrote, “The number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood and the devotion of the people have been manifestly increased by the total separation of the church from the state.” In addition, because church-state separation prevents the government from taking sides in religious disputes, it creates a type of “religious free market” whereby various faiths are free to spread their views and win new converts. www.au.org /site/PageServer?pagename=resources_brochure_legacy   (1823 words)

Windows on Asia Chinese religious practices focus on the worship of gods, the propitiation of ghosts and evil spirits and the veneration of ancestors. When Singapore attained its Independence in 1965, the local leaders took over the running of the churches, schools, and welfare establishments; set up theological colleges to train new leaders, and organized a variety of Christian groups, which resulted in a 2% rise in the number of Christians.

Corps of Discovery - The Leaders Jefferson best fit the mold of a Deist, an 18th century form of religious thought which equated the universe to a giant clock, and portrayed God as the ultimate clockmaker, setting the universe in motion and letting it tick along on its way, undisturbed and without divine intervention. Jefferson's religious views were very important to us politically in the United States; Jefferson reacted strongly against the laws of Virginia Colony which allowed only Anglicans to hold public office. Jefferson's statute, written after the Revolutionary War as the Virginia State Constitution was being drafted, led to the religious freedoms we enjoy in America and the separation of church and state. www.nps.gov /jeff/LewisClark2/CorpsOfDiscovery/TheLeaders/Jefferson/Jefferson.htm   (7161 words)

UUA Pamphlets: Meet the Unitarian Universalists The religious body that claims authority to dictate beliefs is a human institution, and its truths are no more than the conclusions of its earlier human leaders.

http://www.qando.net/ - The coming "religious" battle But instead of the secularists of the left vs. the “religious right”, the left has again discovered its religion and is learning how to use it in the political arena.
