	Why Religion Matters: The Impact of Religious Practice on Social Stability
		Religiously, the mother was far more involved than her husband, the difference in regular religious participation between the addict's parents being twice that for the control's parents....
		Religious leaders, who should be in the forefront of moral and spiritual renewal, have been cowed into a strange timidity.
		Many religious leaders, with the best of intentions, have concentrated on the material aspects of their work, forgetting that the most powerful help they can give is in the spiritual dimension, and that this has a significant effect on material well-being.

	Adherents.com: Largest Religious Bodies
		This list is only an attempt to list religious bodies, that is, organizations which have a recognized, central leadership or convention, and a body of individual members or adherents.
		Some religious bodies are mostly regional but are not part of a broader formal global communion representing their movement precisely: the great majority of their branches are located in a limited region, and there are no separate "sister churches" in other parts of the world.
		These are religious bodies in which at least 30% of their world membership live outside the "core country" (country with the largest number of members).

	PASSIA: Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs - Jerusalem (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Even were this only a sequential connection, nonetheless it consolidates the general impression conveyed by the Qur'an that the religious roots of the Muhammadan message emanate from the Jewish prophets, and that the journey is in a sense a confirmation of this religious heritage.
		Religious design may still posit Jerusalem as the terrestrial gateway to the divine world, for example, through the story of Muhammad's night journey and ascension, a tradition whose significance seems universally unappreciated.
		Especially given the unique way in which Jerusalem is regarded by followers of these religious, both in terms of its role in the past as well as in terms of its status in the future, it is incumbent on the contending parties to pursue a course of convergence and harmonisation.

	Religious Cults
		Church refers to a religious organization claiming a monopoly on knowledge of the sacred, having a highly structured or formalized dogma and hierarchy, but also being flexible about membership requirements as the organization attempts to minister to the secular society of which it is a part.
		Religious orders such as the Franciscans began as cults built around the presence of a charismatic leader who emphasized a life style dedicated to attaining high levels of spirituality.
		During this period, young people were increasingly found living in various types of religious communes and engaging in unconventional behavior, such as speaking in tongues (glossolalia), faith healing, meditating (often under the tutelage of a spiritual leader or guru), and following leaders that conventional society tended to look upon with suspicion and distaste.

	Religious Movements Homepage: Christian Reconstructionism
		Cornelius Van Til is widely recognized as the founder of the group's religious and social theories; Rousas John Rushdoony is acknowledged as the intellectual leader of the group's social and political agenda.
		Since the Religious Movements Homepage seeks to promote religious tolerance and appreciation of the positive benefits of pluralism and religious diversity in human cultures, we encourage the use of alternative concepts that do not carry implicit negative stereotypes.
		What sets the dominionist apart from the rest -- assuming that all religious would like to live in a society entirely committed to their own beliefs -- is the demand of the dominionist to command this society.

	friendly dictators
		In January 1986, Christian Democrat leader Vinicio Cerezo was elected President and said he had "the political will to respect the rights of man", but it didn't take long to find out that his political will was irrelevant in the face of Guatemala's well-oiled military machine.
		In 1988, according to Amnesty International, "thousands of people were imprisoned for political reasons...and the use of torture continued to be widespread and systematic".
		In 1988 a plebiscite refused to extend Pinochet's rule, so he altered the constitution to reduce the powers of the incoming elected President, and left himself head of the armed forces.

	From the Hebrew Press
		Clearly, the Jewish religious settlers have a religious fanatic mentality closely resembling that of the Muslim extremists of Hamas.
		The alliance of the religious settlers with their secular supporters, close as it may seem, must be regarded as potentially fragile.
		The ploy may work, Benziman writes, because even "the leaders of the settlers recognize that the great majority of Israeli Jews are not overly concerned with the fate of Jewish settlers," in contrast to their keen concern, justified or not, about Israel's security.

	Religious Movements Homepage: Gnosticism
		It is a mixing of rites and myths from a variety of religious traditions, combining Occultism, Oriental Mysticism, astrology, magic, elements from Jewish tradition, Christian views of redemption, and even aspects of Plato's doctrine that man is not at home in the bodily realm (McManners: 26).
		Valentinus and another strong Gnostic leader, Marcion, were the most feared by the Catholic church (Crim: 278 and Rudolph: 296).
		Mani, the leader of the Manicheaists, also did not believe in the drinking of wine, the blood of Christ, because he saw it as an invention of the devil.

	Religious Institutions
		The chief target was the liberal baby boomer generation of the Sixties whose religious leaders were accused of betraying successive generations.
		So let us be blunt about it: we must use the doctrine of religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools until we train up a generation of people who know that there is no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education, and no neutral civil government.
		And when the litmus test for political office is a list of religious issues, that's a problem for a society organized around religious pluralism.

	Joining a Cult: Religious Choice or Psychological Aberration? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In the 1970s and 1980s we saw an explosion of new religious groups in America, many of which came to be labeled by their detractors as "cults." The groups were based on a variety of ideologies drawn from Eastern and Western religious traditions and were organized in different ways, but they shared some basic characteristics:
		Further, since these were truly new religious movements, they all needed to grow and therefore to make converts, and they concentrated their conversion attempts upon young, idealistic, mostly white, and middle-class Americans.
		Interestingly, the three recent religious groups whose stories have ended in tragedy -- the People's Temple, the Branch Davidians, and Heaven's Gate -- do not fit the usual profile of a "cult" which attracts primarily young and single adherents.

	The Third Coming of George Barna - Christianity Today Magazine
		Coming from one of the leaders of a genuine revolution, however, it makes this point at least: When "nothing is happening," a great deal may be happening.
		Barna thought that by impressing on church leaders the urgency of the situation, by providing them with hopeful models, and by imploring them to find God's vision for their own ministries, he could surely mobilize at least part of the church.
		In the long run, he hopes to cultivate a new generation of leaders, locating them as early as high school and challenging them to participate in strategic development of their capacities to lead for Christ.

		There is a tendency to treat religious condemnations of abortion as irrefutable.
		Beneath the public anti-choice assertions of some religious officials there lies a diversity of opinion and much tolerance regarding the practice of abortion.
		Rather, they have been chosen to illustrate the fact that, within diverse religious and philosophical traditions, religious leaders and thinkers have varying views on a woman's right to choose an abortion.

	With God On Our Side
		PART ONE, THE EARLY CRUSADES begins by establishing the historic context for Bush's emergence (in the words of one evangelical leader) as the nation's "First Evangelical." Tracing the movement back to its postwar roots, the film chronicles the emergence of conservative Christians as a potent political force.
		At the same time, it explores evangelical leaders' surprisingly rocky relationships with American Presidents, from Billy Graham and Richard Nixon, to Jerry Falwell and Ronald Reagan, to Pat Robertson and George H. Bush.
		Part two, THE REAL DEAL then focuses in on the evangelical journey of George W. Bush, from "sinner, believer, to President." Tracing Bush from his Midland midlife crisis to the war in Iraq, the film opens a window onto how the President's beliefs inform his decisions as Commander-in Chief.
