WORLD RELIGIONS – PART 2
Almost one-third of the world’s population views themselves as
Christians. Approximately a quarter identify as Muslims. Fifteen
percent practice Hinduism. Six percent practice Buddhism, and
approximately a fifth of a percent practice Judaism. Together,
these religions account for over three-quarters of the world;
a huge majority of the earth’s population see themselves as
religious. Nevertheless, all of these religions are incredibly different
and produce divergent worldviews. This course therefore spends
one week on each of the religions mentioned above, examining
the origin, beliefs, worldview, and how they differ from the other
religions. Ultimately, it helps to develop a better appreciation for
the world’s spiritual diversity. This is part 2 of the series that began
in the Spring. It finishes considering Christianity, and examines
Islam, Buddhism, and Atheism. (6 classes)
