Abstract: Ethics and Religion go side by side, is what a person will say to clarify on this subject. So the question arises as to why one needs to be ethical or religious, or in other words why everyone wants a label of being good and just or term themselves as ethical or religious.Most of the moral philosophers would say this is not the case,yet it can really be helpful to understand this concept. This means that people can maintain certain ethical perspectives, principles and behavior without engaging oneself in religious or spiritual beliefs, institutions, or practices.

Religion and Society
1. What is the âsociological perspectiveâ and how does it impact the way we study religion? How is it different from non-social scientific (philosophical, theological) approaches to the study of religion? From other social scientific (psychological, anthropological) approaches?
The sociological perspective is a way of looking at religion that focuses on the human especially social aspects of religious belief and practice. It has two characteristics that separate it from non-scientific approaches to religion. It is empirical and objective. Sociologists usually try as much as possible to base their interpretations on empirical evidence. âThey verify their images and explanations of social reality by experimental or experienced evidence. The objectivity in the sense that they do not attempt to evaluate accept or reject the content of religious beliefs .In the sociological perspective there is no religion that is superior to the other. One religion is not superior to another. Indeed the perspective does not presume the merits of religious over non-religious approaches. But if a religion has ideas on these subjects, it examines them and tries to understand them.
There are two central sociological perspectives which are: substantative and functional. Substantative tries to establish what religion is. It attempts to establish categories of religious content that qualify as religion and other categories specific as non-religion. Functional describes what religion does. It emphasizes what religion does for individual and social group. Accordingly religion is defined by the social functions it fulfills in the society
It emphasizes on the provision of meaning because the establishing of shared meaning is an essentially social event.
The sociological perspective impacts on the way we study religion in various ways. The aspects of the sociological perspective on religion may create elude a bad feeling to students who find their cherished beliefs and practices dispassionately treated as object of study as stipulated in (http://fasnafan.tripod.com/religion.pdf).Normal human beings due to their nature tend to feel bad when they find their religion becoming the subject of discussion and study. They feel that those people are abusing and disregarding their religion. It may be disturbing to have oneâs own religion treated as comparable to other religions and not as superior or uniquely true.maybe maybe not---you need proof to make this claim--not just ideas

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY! DO NOT ASSUME; READ IT.
Final Examination Project for Spring Semester, 2018
Your assignment is to review the reading and writing we have done this semester and to answer two basic questions.
1. As you look around the world today, which trends in world religion might lead toward the abuse of human rights?
2. As you look around the world today, which trends in world religion might lead toward greater respect for and improvement of universal human rights?
Another way of framing the question is to ask in world religion:
1. Who is abusing peopleâs human rights?
2. Who is working to stop these abuses?
Yet another way of framing the question is to ask:
1. How has religion been used in the past to abuse peopleâs human rights?
2. How should religion be used to improve human rights in the future?
You have a lot of flexibility in how you compose this final essay. What I am looking for is your ability to take what you have learned this semester and put it into words. I want you to tell me how and why religion gets used to limit the rights people should have, and how and why religion gets used to help people to enjoy better basic human rights.
This should take the form of a clear, well developed essay using proper rules for quotation and citation. Length should be between two and four pages double spaced.
To help compose this assignment, you should read the following text which was circulated earlier in the semester.
Supernatural vs. Natural Ways of Thinking
(See Chapter 1 in your Book)
The two key concepts we will discuss here are Rationalism and Supernaturalism. First though, letâs review a little bit of what we said earlier about the connection between religion and culture. We want to keep this connection in mind the whole time we study world religions.
Each religion has physical/cultural exterior and a metaphysical/spiritual interior. If you visit a church, mosque, synagogue or temple, you will find that most of the people spend most of their time and effort dealing with the physical/cultural exterior, or the surface of whatever is going on. There will always be some people who will wish to explore and experience their religion on a deeper level. These are the folks who will participate in more of the special events that are held. These are the people who are looking to grow in faith and to delve deeper into the spiritual interior of their beliefs. Often these are the people who wish to challenge the status quo and to reach out to people who would be traditionally excluded from their culture group. One of the funny things about organized religion is that the spiritual interior of the faith often teaches us to let go of our attachments to the cultural exterior. This is why prophets are seldom welcome among their own people. (See Mark 6:4) Prophets call people to let go of their attachments to the cultural status quo and so they usually get in trouble with the authoritie ...
SPIRITUALITY WITH NO AFFILIATION TO RELIGIONAJHSSR Journal
Â
ABSTRACT : A common tendency with most people is to feel secure by declaring their affiliation to a
partcular Caste, Language and above all Religion. This may be giving rise to a sort of superiority complex over
others so that it becomes habitual for the herd to diligently follow the dictates of the so called Connoisseur.
There is absolutely nothing wrong in adopting the principles of any religion, provided one has honestly gone
through the original texts, not just interpretations and understood all possible shades. Everything ages and that is
a natural phenomenon. The age old rules, regulations and principles too, lose their efficacy in course of time.
This is a fact to be accepted without dispute. It is surprising that out of reverence, religious claims are never
taken for a thorough revision in the interest of humanity. All of them are granted eternity and the followers are
forced to accept them as pronounced centuries back. This eventually has brought in rigidity in thinking and
furthermore smothered the progress altogether. No religion has stood exception to this. In fact the fault does not
lie with the textual matter of any religion as such. It is the mishandling and misinterpretations vociferously
carried by the preachers and religiously practised by the devout followers. In the race to claim superiority over
others, the enthusiastic mediocres have earned hatredness towards other groups. More than having a clarity of
own religious scriptures they have been energetically involved in pinpointing and later harshly criticizing others
faith, practices, belief system, traditions etc. The ultimate aim of any religion tends towards spirituality that
involves regard for others practices and basic assumptions or outlooks. It is sad to see immature fellows
equating old traditions, which have remained absolutely unchecked, to spirituality and claiming own
presumptions as the ultimate. The present day need is to aim at spirituality having no affiliation to any religion
as such. Religion can always be a guide or a pathway to the spiritual zone and therefore one who aims high
should not get bracketted into a clumsy arena that provides no liberal attitude. This paper aims to check the
genuine details related to spirituality than getting sentimentally carried away by the popular but false claims.

Religion and Science
By Albert Einstein
(The following article by Albert Einstein appeared in the New York Times Magazine on
November 9, 1930 pp 1-4. It has been reprinted in Ideas and Opinions, Crown
Publishers, Inc. 1954, pp 36 - 40. It also appears in Einstein's book The World as I See
It, Philosophical Library, New York, 1949, pp. 24 - 28.)
Everything that the human race has done and thought is concerned with the satisfaction
of deeply felt needs and the assuagement of pain. One has to keep this constantly in
mind if one wishes to understand spiritual movements and their development. Feeling
and longing are the motive force behind all human endeavor and human creation, in
however exalted a guise the latter may present themselves to us. Now what are the
feelings and needs that have led men to religious thought and belief in the widest sense
of the words? A little consideration will suffice to show us that the most varying
emotions preside over the birth of religious thought and experience. With primitive man
it is above all fear that evokes religious notions - fear of hunger, wild beasts, sickness,
death. Since at this stage of existence understanding of causal connections is usually
poorly developed, the human mind creates illusory beings more or less analogous to
itself on whose wills and actions these fearful happenings depend. Thus one tries to
secure the favor of these beings by carrying out actions and offering sacrifices which,
according to the tradition handed down from generation to generation, propitiate them or
make them well disposed toward a mortal. In this sense I am speaking of a religion of
fear. This, though not created, is in an important degree stabilized by the formation of a
special priestly caste which sets itself up as a mediator between the people and the
beings they fear, and erects a hegemony on this basis. In many cases a leader or ruler or
a privileged class whose position rests on other factors combines priestly functions with
its secular authority in order to make the latter more secure; or the political rulers and the
priestly caste make common cause in their own interests.
The social impulses are another source of the crystallization of religion. Fathers and
mothers and the leaders of larger human communities are mortal and fallible. The desire
for guidance, love, and support prompts men to form the social or moral conception of
God. This is the God of Providence, who protects, disposes, rewards, and punishes; the
God who, according to the limits of the believer's outlook, loves and cherishes the life of
the tribe or of the human race, or even or life itself; the comforter in sorrow and
unsatisfied longing; he who preserves the souls of the dead. This is the social or moral
conception of God.
The Jewish scriptures admirably illustrate the development from the religion of fear to
moral religion, a development continued in the New Testament. The religions of all
civilized peoples, especially the peoples of the ...

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as âdistorted thinkingâ.
