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 people’s 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 people’s 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.

2. 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, let’s 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 authorities.
When we study the spiritual interior of any religion we begin to
glimpse the ways all these religions hold certain ideas in
common. This leads us to embrace secularism. For our
purposes here, secularism is defined as the belief that religious
ideas need to be held in balance over against other realities.
Secular society is based on the idea that no one religion should
be seen as superior to any of the others. People of all religions,
as well as people of no religion should be respected equally and
afforded basic human rights. This ideal of secularism is one of
the founding concepts on which our system of government is
3. based here in the United States. The countries of Western
Europe have adopted similar principles of secularism as well.
Thomas Jefferson established this as the separation of church
and state and enshrined it in the First Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution. In human history, secularism is a modern
concept, so it belongs under the heading of modernity.
The opposite of secularism is religious fundamentalism. Our
definition of religious fundamentalism is the desire to reject
certain key aspects of modernity in order to return to a pre-
modern world view. Clearly we need to define a bunch of other
concepts before we can understand this one, so let’s look at
modernity. Modernity is a synonym for modernism and it refers
to the idea that rationalism and technology can solve our
problems and answer the big questions for us. It will work best
though if we start out by understanding pre-modernism and
supernaturalism, then we can come back to these definitions.
I. Pre-modernism and Supernaturalism
In the old world, the world before technology, everything
around us was controlled supernaturally. People had not
developed systems by which the natural world could be
understood. Science did not exist and so we had no logical or
critical way of understanding cause and effect. In this time in
human history angels or demons, good or bad spirits did
everything. This time in history is known as the pre-modern
era. It is hard to set a specific date for this because modernism,
technology, rationalism, and science came to take hold in
different places at different times. There are still plenty of
places in the world today where pre-modern world views hold
sway.
Modernism or Modernity (both words mean the same thing)
spread outward from Western Europe along with the process
known as colonialism starting in the late 1700’s. This
transformation is also known as enlightenment thinking. This
time in history is called “the Enlightenment.” Traditional
religious world views changed as people began to rely more on
the power of observation, measurement, and the critical analysis
4. of events occurring around them. For all religions this created
what your textbook calls “The Encounter with Modernity.”
There is a section on this in just about every chapter. This
encounter took the form of a crisis as modern, rational ways of
thinking do not necessarily respect the authority of pre-modern
religious traditions.
Rationalism can be defined here as the belief in the power of
reason, observation, deduction, and logic.
Modernism/modernity is basically faith in rationalism, or faith
in technology. Because science deals with a rational approach
to cause and effect, science has led to the rapid development of
all sorts of technology. Science leads us to make things
because it shows us how certain conditions will always produce
the same results, making things work predictably.
The history of the 20th century is all about advances in
technology, starting in the early 1900’s with the development of
the automobile, the airplane, and radio, then moving through
advances in nuclear energy, medicine, and the development of
computers, on to the development of the internet near the end of
the last century. Throughout all of these processes science and
rationalism have given us new ways of exploring and
controlling the world around us. From travel to
communications, from medicine to military weapons,
modernism offered us an increasing ability to control the world
around us. This has led people in secular society to place
increasing faith in the power of technology. Faith in technology
has in turn posed a threat to many forms of organized religion.
Supernaturalism is the old way of thinking where angels and
demons, benevolent spirits and evil spirits, ghosts, gods, and
demi-gods controlled everything in our lives. Vestiges of these
old ways of thinking run deep within our awareness. People say
“Bless you!” when someone sneezes because it was once
believed that a sneeze was a way the body had of ejecting a
demon or evil spirit. It was once believed that many forms of
disease were caused by supernatural, evil spirits. It was once
believed that bad weather was caused by an angry God. It was
5. once believed that wars were lost not because of inferior
military tactics but because God took the other side.
II. Religious Fundamentalism
In religion, many people tend to idealize this time in history and
to look back upon it as if it was better than these modern,
technology dependent times. People like to look back on “the
good old days” when life was safe and simple and religion held
authority in everyone’s life. The problem with this way of
thinking is that it is a total illusion. The “good old days” were
not really so good for many people. Various forms of social
justice such as gender and racial equality were unheard of.
People enslaved one another with the full support of religious
authorities. People who threatened the religious status quo
were often met with extreme and terrible violence. Religious
authorities could only pretend to control natural events, and
people tended to be hostile toward outsiders or people who
believed differently from themselves. The desire to reject
certain key aspects of modernity in favor of a return to a pre-
modern world view is known as religious fundamentalism. This
is the next concept we will discuss.
First though we need to look at what a powerful concept this is.
Take a look at the results of our quick survey on the increase or
decrease in violence in civil society. We can actually measure
violence. As we do so, it is clear that violence of all sorts has
declined tremendously with the advance of secular society.
The best source to back up this claim is The Better Angels of
Our Nature by Steven Pinker. This book is on reserve at our
Library here at ECC and it can be borrowed from other libraries
via interlibrary loan. See
http://www.stevenpinker.com/publications/better-angels-of-our-
nature
Pinker’s Book is essential for understanding how secular
society has brought about a steady increase in concern for
human rights and a steady decline in violence.
Religious fundamentalists can be Muslim or Hindu, Christian or
Jewish. The point of fundamentalism is to desire to reject
6. certain key aspects of modernity (such as secular society) in
favor of a return to a pre-modern world view.
As an example of this way of thinking we can look at the Texas
mega-church led by Kenneth Copeland and his daughter Terri
Copeland. Their church suffered an outbreak of Measles after
years of promoting the avoidance of vaccines in favor of faith
healing. See the article at:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/emilywillingham/2013/08/24/measl
es-outbreak-traces-to-vaccine-refusing-megachurch/
The problem with avoiding vaccines is that vaccination has been
proven over and over to work in favor of reducing the incidence
of disease with a minimum of adverse side effects. Look for
example at the near eradication of Polio following the
introduction of the Salk vaccine. Vaccines work but religious
fundamentalists advocate the return to a world before vaccines.
Look for example at recent attacks by Islamic fundamentalists
on health care workers distributing polio vaccines in Pakistan
and in Nigeria. For a source see
http://www.healthmap.org/site/diseasedaily/article/least-nine-
polio-workers-killed-nigeria-21113
What do you think about the decline in violence? Many of our
religious leaders, pastors, etc. teach that this world is just
getting worse and worse and will continue to do so until Jesus
comes back to rapture all the good people up to heaven, leaving
all the bad people behind to perish in tribulation. Pinker’s
statistical approach to proving the decline of violence runs
directly contrary to this teaching. If we believe the world is in
fact growing worse and worse, then what point in history would
we like to return to? Think about it. If I could send you back
to a “better time” when would that time be? Would we like to
go back to 1950? 1900? 1800? 1700? If we frame the question
this way it becomes clear that most of us would not want to go
back at all. I actually lived in the 1960’s and 1970’s and I can
tell you there is NO WAY I would go back. The “good old”
days were just not that good.
Now we go on to Pre-modernism, Modernism, and Post-
7. modernism.
We have already discussed pre-modernism. This is the word we
use to describe a world view shaped by supernaturalism. In the
pre-modern world there was no rational or critical
understanding of the reasons why things happened. The whole
world was at the mercy of a network of divine and semi-divine
beings, some were good, some were bad, and these forces
brought about all forms of good and bad luck. An example of
this way of thinking can be found in the words of the Apostle
Paul in Ephesians 6:12 “For we are not contending against
flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the
powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness,
against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly
places.” (Bible, NT Eph. 6:12 RSV) In this scripture the
Apostle is referring to a hierarchy of spiritual beings who
control the lives of human beings, or “flesh and blood”. The
world of “flesh and blood” is completely subject to spiritual
beings. These spiritual beings are arranged in a complex
hierarchy consisting of principalities, powers, and world rulers.
Paul is using very technical language here in reference to the
demonology of his day.
Another aspect of the pre-modern world is intense tribalism.
Tribalism refers to the belief that one’s own tribe, or “kind” of
people has superiority over others as well as enjoying the favor
and special benefits of God. This attitude of tribalism can be
illustrated by I Peter 2:9. “You are a chosen race, a royal
priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people…” (Bible, NT I
Peter 2:9 RSV) For years in the pre-modern era people took
these words literally and believed firmly in the superiority of
their own people and in the rule of supernatural forces.
As history progressed, rationalism and modernity began to
emerge in Western Civilization. The benefits of enlightenment
thinking, or rationalism became immediately apparent as new
forms of technology were developed. In the 1700’s this new
technology took the form of ships, instruments of navigation,
and weapons. These new technologies worked together with
8. the political consolidation of power in Western Europe. The
countries of England, Spain, France, Holland, Portugal, and
Germany began to explore and colonize the rest of the world.
This led to the process known as colonialism which we will
discuss in the next section.
By the late 1800’s the emergence of new technologies just took
off. These new discoveries were accompanied by new advances
in thinking about humanity and our place in the world. Charles
Darwin developed the theory of natural selection. Sigmund
Freud developed new ways of understanding the human mind.
Charles Lyell figured out how to study the earth and how to
accurately determine its age. Countless other scientists and
scholars began to build the modern academic disciplines which
would change the world. Joseph Lister and Louis Pasteur
developed the germ theory of disease and the basics of public
health.
As these discoveries progressed, the quality of life steadily
improved in the Western world. Violence declined, people
started living longer, more productive lives, and they had more
leisure time. This in turn gave rise to an attitude or a belief that
technology could save us from any problems we might face.
This belief is what we are talking about when we use the word
“modernism.”
People in the Western world had a vision of the future as a
place of paradise and endless wonder. A good example of this
is provided by the original series “Star Trek” See
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmn4FXXnIc4
Another great example of modernism in action is the cartoon
series ”The Jetsons”. See
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjy-fnsmWR4
In Star Trek rationalism and technology always combined to
solve whatever crisis the crew of the Starship Enterprise might
be facing. The whole point of modernism is the belief that
rationalism and technology are sufficient to solve all our
problems. The idea is that materialism will take us where we
need to go.
9. Several problems limit the world-saving potential of
modernism. First, technology is not equally shared among
human kind. People in Western Europe and the United States
have managed to help themselves to an unfair share of the
resources supporting technology and innovation. Vast sections
of our world have not received the benefits of modernity. Even
within our own cities, the uneven distribution of wealth has
allowed some populations to prosper and other populations to
do without many of the benefits of technology. So the first
problem with modernity is that the benefits of technology are
not fairly distributed.
The second problem with modernity is that as happy as we may
be with all our technology, the time comes for us all when we
need to face our own mortality. We get sick, we get old, and we
die. When this happens we face the realization that all our
technology has done nothing to help us answer the big
questions. We still don’t know where we came from, why we
are here, or where we are going when we leave this place.
The third problem with modernity is that our technology can
lead us in some terrible directions. We saw this with the use of
poison gas in World War I, with the Nazi use of technology to
support the death factories of the Holocaust, and with the use of
nuclear weapons at the end of World War II.
Modernity works just fine to solve all of our problems as long
as we are rich, young, and healthy. If we are poor, elderly, or
sick, all of a sudden we see the complete failure of technology
to deliver the promises of salvation.
This leads us to a key conceptual statement. Pay attention here
because this is one of the most important statements we will
make in this class.
When modernity fails, we face a choice, either to return to a
pre-modern world view or to push forward to discover a new
narrative.
The return to a pre-modern world view is religious
fundamentalism. This is where we want to have an ideal and
romantic view of the world before technology and we want to
10. go back to those times. Fundamentalism is characterized by
· Ridged adherence to the literal interpretation of pre-modern
texts, (i.e. scriptures)
· Belief in the call to return to an ideal period in history
· Belief in supernaturalism and supernatural intervention
· Belief in some form of tribalism or cultural superiority
The problem fundamentalists run into is that there are other
people out there who also hold fundamental views. In pre-
modern society these groups met each other with extreme
violence. This is where sectarian strife or religious war comes
from.
From the perspective of critical thinking, or rationalism, the
fundamentalist world view just does not work. It leads to
factionalism, sectarian conflict, and all sorts of violent
behavior.
In situations of extreme poverty and social chaos,
fundamentalist perspectives can become amazingly popular.
Examples of extremist fundamentalist organizations include:
· The Taliban in the Tribal autonomous Regions of Afghanistan,
and Pakistan
· ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant)
· Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria
When we study religion in these areas we need to remember that
the dreadful extremism we are witnessing came about because
modernity and colonialism brought no benefits to these people
at all. As the beneficiaries of modernity we can’t understand
why these people want to return to the Middle Ages, but for
them this time in history appears to be a time when their social
needs were met.
In some places, underlying attitudes of religious
fundamentalism are capitalized on by local politicians to elect
governments which adhere to principles of ridged religious
nationalism. Religious nationalism is the belief that one’s
nation is THE nation favored by the almighty. Religious
nationalism is a larger, more socially and politically complex
form of tribalism. Examples of this abound in the area
11. surrounding the Indus River along the border between India and
Pakistan. See
http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammu_and_Kashmir
Here in the United States, religious fundamentalism tends to
take shape in churches where people feel threatened by the
changes going on around them. These changes include the
forces of globalization, diversity, and demographic change.
When our communities feel overwhelmed by social change, our
preachers sometimes lift up a message of apocalyptic, end
times warnings and a call to return to some ideal moment in the
past when these stresses were not happening. Being ever
willing to capitalize on insecurity and social unrest, politicians
often use these situations to promote their own agendas of
social/cultural superiority, distrust of government, and dislike
for secular society.
As stated above, fundamentalist attitudes are often a social dead
end because, in general, human history just does not go
backwards. One thing that is certain about social change is that
it will continue. We may want to go back but we can’t.
This brings us to the need for a new religious narrative. The
search for a new narrative is called post-modernism. The idea
of a social grand narrative was first published by Jean-Francois
Lyotard. (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Francois_Lyotard
See also page 27 in your book.
Lyotard pointed out that in pre-modern society we all followed
the same grand narrative, or metanarrative. We all believed in
the same basic myths. This was because we all belonged to the
same culture. People who belonged to other cultures were
either our enemies (infidels) or they were our cultural inferiors
(savages.) Dealing with these others, who did not ascribe to our
grand narrative was a simple matter of either hostility of
domination. We either went to war with them or we colonized
them.
As modernity progressed, so did secular society. Along the way
the failures of modernity became increasingly obvious. People
12. felt that they had been let down by the promises of technology,
materialism, and a lifestyle of consumption. This crisis led
many back to religious fundamentalism, but others pressed
forward, changing their religious narrative ever so slightly to
account for a more diverse, secular society. Let me give you
some examples.
The Bible clearly supports the holding of slaves as part of
God’s order for society. Look for example at Exodus 21:20.
“When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and
the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. But if the
slave survives for a day or two (after being beaten) the owner is
not to be punished for the slave is his property.” (Bible, OT
Exodus 21:20 SAH translation)
The Bible maintains that women should be submissive to women
and should not be in leadership positions within the church. For
this we can look at I Timothy 2:11 “Let a woman learn in
silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman to teach or
to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.” (Bible NT I
Timothy 2:11 RSV)
In postmodern Christianity we can change our narrativeever so
slightly in order to leave these pre-modern ways of thinking
behind. Changing our narrative means we focus our agenda
using those scriptures which are relevant to the questions we
face today and ignoring the rest. Scriptures which are not
relevant to the situations we face today are simply ignored.
Socially, we settled the question of slavery in the United States
following the Civil War. We settled questions of social
segregation during the Civil Rights Movement. Questions about
the rights of women were settled when the 19th Amendment to
the Constitution was ratified in 1919 giving women the right to
vote.
In the old days of pre-modernism we all held to the same story,
or grand narrative. In today’s world we need to admit that we
do not all hold the same religious beliefs, but that’s OK! I have
my religious narrative which works for me and you have your
religious narrative which works for you. We use the word
13. micro-narrative to describe these smaller, more personal and
diverse narratives.
If you are interested in further investigation into postmodern
Christianity I have posted two documents here which I drafted
for the Presbyterian Church regarding these changes to our
collective narrative. I present them here (On Moodle) only as
examples of postmodernism. These are “What is truth?” and
“How should the scriptures be used to address complex social
issues?”
Postmodernism is a way people of faith have of holding on to
their faith through the changes of modern times and adapting
their faith as they move forward in an increasingly secular,
diverse, and technology driven society.
Now let’s go back and review an important statement made
above.
When modernity fails, we face a choice, either to return to a
pre-modern world view or to push forward to discover a new
narrative.
An attitude of pure modernism/modernity will fail everyone
eventually. It only works for those of us who are young,
healthy, and wealthy, and none of us stay that way forever!
The return to a pre-modern world view is a very popular form of
faith known as religious fundamentalism.
The push forward toward a new narrative or micro-narrative is
known as post-modernism.

15. Student population distribution vs Ethnicity :
Around 84% of the students are from Hispanic, White and Black
ethnic backgrounds.
And we can’t make strong conclusions for the other categories,
because of statistically insignificant amount of data.
Assessment Score(<65%),English vs Ethnicity
Most of the Students who failed in Assessment, scored under
65% in English.
80% of Black ethnic students who scored under 65% in English,
failed in Assessment
It is evident that students over 65% in English outperformed in
Total Assessment.
In general, we can make a conclusion that if a student failed in
the assessment they have scored less than 65% in English.
Assessment Score(<65%),Math vs Ethnicity
Most of that Black and Native Americans who failed in total
16. assessment, scored under 65% in math.
Around 60% of Whites who failed in assessment, scored under
65% in math.
With skewed data, 100% of students with ethnicity other scored
more than 65% in math.
Assessment Score(>=65%),English vs Ethnicity
25% of Black and 10% of White ethnic students scored under
65% in English when they passed in assessment.
Except white and black ethnic students, the remaining passed in
assessment with more than 65% in English.
Assessment Score(>=65%), Math vs Ethnicity
Student who passed the assessment, performed well in Math.
Assessment result – “Pass”, has a strong correlation with Math
score.
17. With English as second language, Assessment Scores
Most of the students who failed in assessment and having
English as their second language are from Hispanic ethnicity.
60% of Hispanics and 40% of A ethnic students passed in
assessment with English as second language.
Number of Hispanics who failed the assessment have strong
correlation between English score and English as second
language.
Without English as second language, Assessment Scores
There’s no correlation in passing the assessment and having
English as second language for both Black and White ethnic
students.
