	Singapore : Religion and Language
		Christianity is seen as a ‘modern’ religion in Singapore, as one associated with the English language and to some extent Westernisation.
		Also, Singapore as a whole is highly pluralistic religiously as in other respects, and so there is no basis for an identification either between religion in general and the State or between any other particular religion and the State.
		Religion is this in a political sense ‘diffused’ in Singapore, and the average citizen in his own mind rigorously separates politics and religion in his own life and mind, perhaps for fear that religion might suffer it had become too socially ‘visible’.

	The Next Christianity
		Christianity as a whole is both growing and mutating in ways that observers in the West tend not to see.
		Worldwide, Christianity is actually moving toward supernaturalism and neo-orthodoxy, and in many ways toward the ancient world view expressed in the New Testament: a vision of Jesus as the embodiment of divine power, who overcomes the evil forces that inflict calamity and sickness upon the human race.
		Rather, Christians are facing a shrinking population in the liberal West and a growing majority of the traditional Rest.

		Singapore, a small nation consisting of a group of islands at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, is a multi-ethnic, multi-racial, and multi-religious society.
		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.
		Thus, the Hinduism practiced in Singapore is similar to that of South India, with its emphasis on the Savaite tradition (worship of the god Siva) and colorful ceremonies.

	Christianity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In Singapore (June-August 1997), I explored the local impact of a controversial "practical theology" that calls on all Christians to engage in "spiritual warfare" against "territorial spirits," thereby ritually dramatizing the competition between Christianity and local popular religious cultures.
		In Singapore and Malaysia (January-May 1999), I investigated the Brethren Movement, a Christian sectarian movement that missionaries and European sojourners brought to Southeast Asia in the mid-nineteenth century.
		While cultural congruence appears to explain the popularity of spiritual warfare and the ministry of deliverance in countries like Guatemala and Singapore (in which Christianity exists in tension with local popular religious cultures), the popularity of this movement in urban North America appears to be based on the attempt to re-enchant Protestant Christian cosmology.

	E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum -> Problems Of Buddhism In Singapore
		As the Christian community had grown to a sustainable number, they are now able to employ revolutionary and innovative tactics in their propagation.
		A typical young Christian is normally one thought to be well educated, English-orientated, gentle, having a good sense of dressing (not thought to be old-fashioned as in the case of the portrayed image by a typical Buddhist).
		And we must admit that Christianity had focused their attention and efforts on the correct sector of our society – the young people --, as they would be the next masters of Singapore and the society.

	Singapore’s Big Gamble: Foreign Policy
		After Singapore’s debut as an independent state in 1965, Lee force-marched his “digits”—his term for Singapore’s citizens—through the hoops of economic and social progress.
		In Singapore, we have no capital controls, but we did have something called a noninternationalization policy, which had the purpose of making it difficult for a nonresident to borrow Singaporean dollars for noneconomic purposes.
		But in the same way that standards of economic globalization have been very good for Singapore, there are now emerging standards of political globalization that Singapore has not embraced to the same degree—for example, democracy, freedom of the press, and individual civil liberties.

		In antiquity, Christians apparently had no particular problem with slavery as an institution (it is implicitly endorsed in Paul's letter to Philemon, for example), although it became a common practice for rich Christians to free their slaves.
		After the fall of Rome, slavery remained very common throughout Europe, but Christians increasingly came to abhor the practice, and by the end of the first millennium, it had been outlawed throughout most of the continent.
		Those who enslaved the Native Americans and the Africans were Christians, or at least they claimed to be, and so too were those who campaigned against slavery in the late 18th and early 19th centuries until it was abolished.

		The Singapore government in the 1970's embarked on a comprehensive family program (whose success also contributed to higher economic growth), of which cheap and accessible abortions (costing about US$3) was a main stay.

		In Singapore, though one is free to practice any religion, one may not always be at liberty to convert someone else.
