	Religious Studies
		For this reason, the goal of any paper in religious studies should not be to demonstrate or refute provocative religious concepts, such as the existence of God, the idea of reincarnation, or the possibility of burning in hell.
		Though often associated with sacred texts, the concept of divine inspiration belongs in a faith-oriented environment and therefore should not be invoked as evidence in academic writing.
		Many religious texts, including biblical literature, are not sacred at their inception, but acquire sanctity over time.

		All those who profess religious belief are not necessarily registered members of a church or denomination, but in the U.S. the majority of professed Christians and adherents of other religions are also officially affiliated with an organization.
		As is typical with a religious group made up primarily of converts, Baha'is who drift from active participation in the movement are less likely to retain nominal identification with the religion -- because it was not the religion of their parents or the majority religion of the surrounding culture.

	Fundamentalists attitude towards their religius text
		Before a person considers a text inerrant, they are in a position where their cultural and class position in the world dictate their knowledge of religious texts and their approach to them.
		Sensible possibility: That God has inspired multiple correct prophecies in multiple religious texts OR that magic operates as part of the natural laws of the universe, and supernatural prophecy making is possible whether or not God has a part in it.
		A persons' want for an authoritive text (so they don't have to make their own choices or justify their own beliefs) is not an honest or respectful bias to take to a religious text: Such an approach corrupts the text and produces a caricature and distortion of truth.

		On one hand, the text edifies the ideal universal value of humanitarianism, and on the other hand it also articulates and legalizes the exclusivity of primordial behaviors for the sake of preserving what is called as “belief”.
		One example of a religious text, which inspires the “religious adventurer” to commit violence is: “whoever curse you (Israel), he is cursed and whoever bless you, he is blessed” (Genesis27: 29).
		On the base of preserving the sacred nature of these texts, a lot of spokespeople within the Christian community have been instigating a Jesus militia to battle the Muslim or whoever else is considered to be disturbing the nobility of the Christian doctrine.

		A new bilingual, Chinese-English textbook on religion produced with the help of USF's Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History at the Center for the Pacific Rim is among the first in China to help introduce religious studies in the country's universities after half a century of religious suppression.
		Religion in the Late-Modern World, co-authored by James and Evelyn Whitehead, two scholars long supported by the Ricci Institute, and a Chinese colleague, is an introductory text in the study of religion for juniors and seniors or master's students at Chinese universities.
		Inspired by a vision shared by Wu and the Whiteheads to produce a cross-cultural text on religion based on the Whiteheads' years of study of religion, Chinese religious history, and psychology, the book interprets the role of religion in the development of modern society for a Chinese reader.

	Discriminations: Pope Judge John Noonan And The Constitution As A Religious Text
		Noonan, a judge on the activist, San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the author of a book about the First Amendment, compared interpreting the Constitution to interpreting religious texts and argued against literal readings of the country's arbiter of legal judgment.
		Noonan seems to imply that only religious liberals (or liberals who are not religious) are fit to be judges.
		The fact is that his view of judges as priests empowered not to interpret but in effect to write legal texts is the essence of judicial imperialism.
