	Abrahamic religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All the Abrahamic religions are derived to some extent from Judaism as practiced in ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah prior to the Babylonian Exile, at the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE.
		It may be that a distinguishing characteristic of the Abrahamic religions is their generally intolerant stance on homosexuality and sexuality.
		While all three religions unequivocally condemn male homosexuality, lesbianism is nowhere explicitly mentioned in the Old Testament, the New Testament, or the Qur'an; though some scholars have argued the passage in Romans 1:26, "Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural," is a reference to it.

	Religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Religion is commonly defined as a group of beliefs concerning the myth of the supernatural, sacred, or divine, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions, and rituals associated with such belief.
		Religion may be defined as the presence of an awareness of the sacred or the holy.
		Models that view religion as a social construction include the "Dogma Selection Model," which holds that religions, although untrue in themselves, encode instructions or habits useful for survival, that these ideas "mutate" periodically as they are passed on, and they spread or die out in accord with their effectiveness at improving chances for survival.

	Abrahamic religion - Simple English Wikipedia
		Even though these religions are quite different from each other in many ways, they also agree in many other very important ways on the basic general nature of the one God whom they worship.
		The word "Abrahamic" refers to the ancient prophet Abraham, who is respected in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as the first prophet of God.
		Another thing Abrahamic religions have in common is that they are "Monotheistic" (from the Greek words for "one" and "God"), meaning belief in just one God.

		There are other religions that recognize, to a greater or lesser degree, the prophets of the Bible, including the various Voodoo faiths (a syncretic blend of Christianity and African pagan religions) and Unitarian Universalism.

	Abrahamic religion
		The Abrahamic religions are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, so-called because they are all descendants of the religious tradition of Abraham, the biblical patriarch.
		Islam recognizes Jesus and the Jewish prophets (such as Moses) as being divinely inspired (though not divinely born), and in crucial distinction recognizes Mohammed (the religion's founder) as a prophet.
		There are other religions that recognize, to a greater or lesser degree, the prophets of the Bible, including the Mormon faith, the various Voodoo faiths (a syncretic blend of Christianity and African pagan religions), and Unitarian-Universalism.

	Magic (paranormal) - Free Encyclopedia of Thelema
		Template:Main article The conceptual relationship between religion and magic is similar to the relationship between "religion" and paganism, whereas "religion" refers to a system of established beliefs, and "magic" and "pagan" are labels used by people within that system to describe beliefs and practices that conflict with or are outside of that system.
		It is at this stage of development that highly codified and elaborate rituals, setting the stage for formal religions, began to emerge, such as the funeral rites of the Egyptians and the sacrifice rituals of the Babylonians, Persians, Aztecs and Mayans.
		When these religions' views of magic were later applied to the beliefs of other religions, this had the effect of vilifying tribal shamans and other practitioners of magic.

	Chautauqua Department of Religion 2003 > Abrahamic Program
		Abraham is honored within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam: as patriarch of the Jewish people, exemplar to Christians of faith, and prophet within Islam.
		Religions deal in their own way and in their own terms with the mysterium tremendum, a mystery because it is a non-rational encounter with the sacred, and tremendum, because the experience generates tremendous awe.
		Religion and science ask their own logically distinct questions, but both can develop a vocabulary that enables them to speak constructively to one another.

	ASMA SOCIETY \| American Society for Muslim Advancement
		Implicit here is that the Abrahamic ethic honors human dignity and demands that a human being respect his or her dignity as human, and it holds no countenance for religious or social practices that discriminate between humans at birth, deeming some capable and others incapable by nature of knowing God.
		The story of Abraham's descendants, depicted in the biblical narratives as well as in the Quran and the Hadith (the sayings of the Prophet), demonstrates the difficulties of establishing a monotheistic tradition in a world where the dominant tradition was a robust polytheism with its sociologically stratified societies.
		Whereas the Prophet Muhammad was sent to revive the Abrahamic ethic in the cultural mind-set and language of the Ishmaelite branch of the children of Abraham, most people have come to regard the Prophet Muhammad's mission as conveying a different message from that of Jesus and Moses, seeing it as a distinct and separate religion.

	PART V
		Here, in Part V we look at religion (specifically Abrahamic faiths) in the rise and subsequent modernization of "society." In this context the term "society" is reserved for peoples among whom differentiation, specialization, and reorganization of human activity increasingly limit and supplant familial solidarities.
		Taken generically, religion refers to the means by which we respond to "the infinite." But religious activity readily becomes its own end, and insofar descends into idolatry.
		The human inclination is to treat religion, including the Abrahamic faiths, as a pattern to be laid on all situations in a one-size-fits all manner.

		In Abrahamic religions there has been a strong emphasis on the separation of “believer” and “non-believer” and a religious imperative to move as many people from the latter category to the former.
		This means that per the religious doctrine of Abrahamic religions, there is an inherent conflict with any other people who have not converted to their particular conception of God.
		However, one goal of both the missionary and the secular administrator was to denigrate native religions and practices – the former to convert to the one true religion and the latter to instill in the natives the aura of Anglican superiority.

		Mystics in the Abrahamic faiths were always on the margins of mainstream Christianity. They were persecuted by the religious institutions, and did not become accepted within their own faith communities during their lives.
		Furthermore, because Abrahamic religions are self-defined in socio-political terms, Western scholars have used anthropology as a principal means to “study” Indian spirituality, leading to the “caste, cows, and curry” theories of India.
		Given how Abrahamic categories downplay adhyatma-vidya in favor of a history centrism, he fails to appreciate that (i) re-contextualization has been a continual process in Indic traditions, and (ii) this activity is not licensed by some central authority, including his academy.

		Those following the Abrahamic religion of Islam believe that both Judaism and Christianity are out of date, kind of obsolete, and Mohammed is the last prophet and the Koranic version of the scriptures is the most up to date version of the Abrahamic scriptures.
		To say it plainly, Gentile religions have never been as ferociously and endlessly attacked as they have been since the two prostelyzing Jewish religions - Christianity and Islam - were born.
		The problem with prostelyzing Abrahamic religions [Judaism the exception] of Christianity and Islam, is that they believe that Gentiles who want to remain in Gentile religions and not convert to the Judaic version of God, must be blinded by the Abrahamic Satan.

	Satan - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In modern Abrahamic religions, Satan is generally viewed as a supernatural entity who is the central embodiment of evil.
		Of these, some claim that Satan is a real being, some view him as a symbol for the animal desires of humans, and some view him as a symbol for the rebellious or independent aspects of humanity.
		In Pagan/polytheistic religions that have assimilated aspects of Abrahamic mythology into their own pantheons, Satan, Lucifer, and Beelzabub are often seen as distinct and separate beings who perform necessary cosmic functions.
