The document discusses four views that were critical to the American constitutional formation on religious liberty: the Puritan view, Evangelical view, Enlightenment view, and Civic Republican view. These four views rejected the traditional Anglican establishment and commonly supported the separation of church and state, freedom from state control over religious institutions, and religion as an unalienable natural right.
Religion and Politics: Perception & BeliefGlobal_Net
By looking at the relation between beliefs and politics we can begin to see how religious beliefs often take on a political nature – sometimes violent and sometimes peaceful. We can also begin to see how often these beliefs develop because of a vacuum in the secular world.
As a way of illustrating this Dr Alexandre Christoyannopoulos explored with us “Christian Anarchism” because it highlights many of these points.
Talk of religion and politics tends to conjure up images and memories of religious intolerance and political violence, especially if the word 'radical' is added in. Yet many religious radicals are non-violent.
Gandhi, for instance, was a strictly non-violent religious and political radical. What few people know is that his inspiration for this strict non-violence was Christian anarchist Leo Tolstoy.
These slides are associated with a webinar where we discussede nonviolent religious radicalism using Tolstoy and others Christian anarchists as a starting point in order to reflect more broadly on the interaction of religion and politics, on where that leaves the intentions of secularism, and on why nonviolent activism tends to be eclipsed by violent alternatives.

Provide a summary of the basic ideals and significant individuals behind the Protestant Reformation, and what was its impact on Christianity.
Solution
The Protestant Reformation was the 16th-century religious, political, intellectual and cultural upheaval that splintered Catholic Europe, setting in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent in the modern era. In northern and central Europe, reformers like Martin Luther, John Calvin and Henry VIII challenged papal authority and questioned the Catholic Church’s ability to define Christian practice. They argued for a religious and political redistribution of power into the hands of Bible- and pamphlet-reading pastors and princes. The disruption triggered wars, persecutions and the so-called Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church’s delayed but forceful response to the Protestants.
Even though people were worshiping as they believed, the Protestant Reformation brought about a new set of problems. Catholicism refused to let go of its power and they fought hard to keep their dominance over the people. Different protestant denominations began to spring up and they were in conflict with other Christian sects about the matter of how best to worship God. People all throughout Europe began to engage in bloody conflicts over their religious disagreements. Catholics fought against the Protestants and rulers fought against various Christian sects that did not affiliate with their particular beliefs. The Reformation not only drove people to found America, but it also helped to establish the Constitution which is the living document that governs the United States. After the religious dissenters from Europe arrived in America, society was dominated by a clash of various religious beliefs. Those beliefs continued to dominate America for hundreds of years, up until the latter half of the 20th century. Religion was so strong in America that it dictated the lives of millions of settlers that lived in the colonies.
As we know christinaity is one big religion in the word that so many people follow hence it does not provide any impact because people always worship on their beliefs not on some sort of organisations

2.Identify 4 places in our society you cannot see the separation of church and State.
Separation of church and state has long been viewed as a cornerstone of American democracy. At the same time, the concept has remained highly controversial in the popular culture and law. Much of the debate over the application and meaning of the phrase focuses on its historical antecedents. This article briefly examines the historical origins of the concept and its subsequent evolutions in the nineteenth century.
Religion and Government are certainly very different Things, instituted for different Ends; the design of one being to promote our temporal Happiness; the design of the other to procure the Favour of God, and thereby the Salvation of our Souls. While these are kept distinct and apart, the Peace and welfare of Society is preserved, and the Ends of both are answered. By mixing them together, feuds, animosities and persecutions have been raised, which have deluged the World in Blood, and disgraced human Nature.

John Dickinson, one of the Founding Fathers, wrote the above statement in 1768 on the advent of the American Revolution. As a Pennsylvanian, Dickinson was not criticizing his colony’s religious establishment (there was none); rather he was commenting on one of the rising issues of the day: the proper relationship between religion and government in a society that increasingly identified with the principles of natural rights and rationalism originating in the Enlightenment. The immediate context was a controversy over a proposal to appoint the first American bishop of the Church of England, the presumptive established church for the British American colonies. At the time, religious establishments—that is, government support for “public ministers” and houses of worship through forced taxation or “assessments”—existed in nine of the thirteen colonies, but the Anglican Church was only dominant in four southern colonies. Colonialists living in the remaining colonies—those residing in colonies without establishments as well as those in colonies with “multiple” establishments that favored dissenting sects such as Congregationalists, Presbyterians, and Dutch Reformed—feared that a domestic Anglican bishop would not only increase the power of the Anglican Church at the expense of other Protestant bodies, but also would threaten the civil and religious liberties that the colonialists had grown to expect over 150 years of benign neglect.
Even before the political crisis arose in 1765, these Americans overwhelmingly identified with the opposition Whigs in England, who criticized the corruption and authoritarianism of the established church. As patriots raised claims of political liberty in those formative years, matters of religious liberty and ...

Introduction
ANALYTICAL ESSAY 2
Europe became a global power at the time it was experiencing internal religious upheaval1.
The reality is that these religious disorders had permanently divided Christians. The Spanish
explorers and the Portuguese had already appealed for the new lands, and Catholic missionaries
collected new souls for the church all the way from Mexico to Japan. It is worth noting that Luther
and Calvin together with a host of others had formed competing branches of the Europe’s
Protestants. There was a lot of disagreement between the Lutherans, Calvinist, and Anglicans on
various issues of doctrine and church organization. However, they all eventually broke from the
Roman Catholic Church2. The Protestant, priest and the laypeople recognized the new Christian
communities having new forms of ritual. There were also new social practices, new doctrines, and
clergy that had different personal lives and powers different from the clergy in the Roman Catholic.
A case in point is that Catholic priest was not to marry. Protestant clergy could marry on the other
hand. Catholic priest heard confessions and said mass. Protestant priesthood preached the word of
God and could not hear confession leaving it to the individual sinner and God undertaking that
such act of confession ought to be between the human heart and God3. This paper analyses three
ways states and societies attempted to create order in this disorderly time in European society
thereby discussing success and limitations of each those ways.

The Protestant Reformation started in the early sixteenth century. The reformation stemmed from people who wanted to challenge the higher power in the Roman Catholic church. Martian Luther started the movement when he disagreed with the religious rules that was created in the Roman Catholic Church. When it came to the bible, Protestants and Catholics had very different understandings. “Justification by faith alone” became the stem of Protestant beliefs (Bentley, Ziegler, Streets-Salter, p. 509).
Catholic reformation was partly created to respond back to the Protestant reformation. Since the Protestant reformation happened, the Catholics wanted to gain back the people they had lost. The Council of Trent and The Society of Jesus were a big help in the Catholic reformation. The council requested that the higher power follow firm moral rules. Which caused them to be in training, so that they could do their responsibilities properly. People of the Society of Jesus were called Jesuits. St. Ignatius Loyola founded the society and made sure the Jesuits were well educated. They were excellent missionaries and retained a great reputation. Jesuits were often counselors to both kings and rulers, which they used to gain influence on policies.

Through the high middle ages Christianity guided Europe through many matters ranging from religion to ethics. however in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries there were many revolts that were launched against the Roman Catholic Church which shattered a lot of the religious unity throughout Western Europe.
The Catholics and Protestants had major disagreements which stemmed from the interpretation or understanding and the authority of the Bible. It was the belief of the Protestants that the authority of the Pope and the Priests of the Roman Catholic Church were not necessary and that all they needed was Faith alone to be saved. This was the Core of the Protestant beliefs and were widely received by the masses and found much success.
The Reformation of the Catholic Church was in response to the success of the Protestants and to be able to regain much of the followers they had lost. In doing so they made an effort to be able to clarify the difference between the two denominations and even consulted and abide by the council of Trent and the Society of Jesus Christ.

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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. The American Experiment
The American Experiment in religious liberty
cannot be reduced to the First Amendment
religion clauses alone.
Nor can the framers’ understanding be
determined simply by studying the debates on
these clauses in the First Session of Congress
in 1789.
3. The American Experiment
Within the ample eighteenth-century sources
at hand, four views on religious liberty were
critical to constitutional formation:
Puritan
Evangelical
Enlightenment
Civic
Republican
4. Puritan Views
The Puritans of the New England states of
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Vermont, and Maine were heirs of the theology
of religious liberty taught by the Reformed or
Calvinist tradition.
In the New England communities, the Puritans
adopted a variety of rules designed to foster
this basic separation of the institutions and
operations of the church and state.
5. Puritan Views
Initially the New England leadership left little room
for individual religious experimentation.
Quakers remained unwelcome, although Baptists,
Episcopalians, and other Protestant groups came
to be tolerated in the New England colonies.
Over time, the growing presence of religious
nonconformists in New England shifted the
Puritan understanding of liberty of conscience.
6. Evangelical Views
The eighteenth-century American Evangelical
tradition of religious liberty has its roots in
sixteenth-century European Anabaptism.
Evangelicals did not emerge as a strong
political force in America until after the Great
Awakening of 1720-1780.
7. Evangelical Views
In the place of religious establishment,
religious voluntarism lay at the heart of the
Evangelical view.
It
was for God, not the state, to decide which
religions would flourish and which would fade.
Autonomy of religious governance also lay at
the heart of this Evangelical view.
8. Evangelical Views
Evangelicals advocated the institutional
separation of church and state.
Evangelicals argued that all religious bodies
should be free from:
state control of their assembly and worship
State regulation of their property and polity
State incorporation of their society and clergy
State interference in their discipline and
government
State collection of religious tithes and taxes.
9. Enlightenment Views
The Enlightenment movement in America
provided a political theory that complemented
the Evangelical theology of religious liberty.
The Enlightenment movement was not a
single, unified movement but rather a series of
diverse ideological movements in various
academic disciplines and social circles
throughout Europe and North America.
10. Enlightenment Views
John Locke – Letter Concerning Toleration
(1689) – provide ample inspiration for the
movement.
Locke’s
Letter presupposed a magistracy and
community committed to a common Christianity.
A century later, American Enlightenment
writers pressed Locke’s theory of religious
toleration further, and into more concrete legal
and political forms.
11. Enlightenment Views
The state should not give special aid, support,
privilege, or protection to religious doctrines or
groups.
A contractarian view of society believed that
religion was one of the natural and unalienable
rights that God had given to each person.
Neither
the state nor the church could take away
this natural right of religion, nor could a person
transfer it to someone else.
12. Republican Views
The Civic Republican movement provided a
sturdy political philosophy to complement the
Puritan theology of religious liberty.
By the later eighteenth century, Republican
leaders had found their most natural
theological allies among the Puritans.
However,
they still shared much common ground
with Evangelical and Enlightenment exponents.
13. Republican Views
The “Publick Religion” or “civil religion” of
America taught a creed of honesty, diligence,
devotion, public spiritedness, patriotism,
obedience, love of God, neighbor and self.
Icons: the Bible
The Declaration of Independence
The bells of liberty
The Constitution
14. Summary
These four views helped inform the early
American experiment in religious rights and
liberties.
The common point of departure for all four
views was their rejection of the traditional
Anglican establishment that had been the
formal law of the American colonies until the
American Revolution.
