Religious Understanding

religion and teaching about religion?
Why is religious understanding important?
Introduction
Non-religious individual
US Religious Bias in terms of “foreign” religions
Generally an interesting and controversial topic
Why I Chose This Issue
Large Amount of religious tension worldwide
Damaging Misconceptions affect foreign affairs
There has been a 33% increase in religious
violence
About 29% of the world’s nations experience
religious restriction from their own government
Why is this Issue Important?
Ask your local school board for the
incorporation of “religious studies” classes
Take the time to understand and learn about
the religions of others
Increase the number of teachers qualified to
educate about the religions of the world
What can be done to Help this
Issue?
This is not an issue that can be “ended”
Constant knowledge and communication necessary
I will be taking the time to educate myself about
the doctrine of major religions
Understanding the rationale behind others’
actions will lead to greater cooperation
What Will I be Doing to help
End this Issue?
Misinformation causes problems for
international relations
Largest sect of fear-mongering from religious
misunderstandings
Education about all religions is critical for proper
communication
Only through communication will the world be
able to function effectively
