Under current plans, President Obama would require religious organizations to hire members of the LGBT community in order to compete for dollars which have traditionally been delivered to religious organizations to help them serve the community and public. Will Obama respond favorably? Or will he simply impose his views without regard to closely held religious practices? We will see.
1) From the early development of The United States of America, rel.docxlindorffgarrik
1)
From the early development of The United States of America, religion has remained the very foundation of its structure. Though the religious nature brought in the 17
th
century would eventually shift to different beliefs, the government was built with a spiritual recognition ("Religion and the…”). Despite this fact and the fact that the United States still engages in some religion based practices including the use of a bible when taking oath or the using the motto, “In God We Trust,” the U.S. Constitution gives the American people the freedom and the right to follow the religion of their choice ("First Amendment"). Having that said, it is important to fully understand the terms secular and secularization to recognize the direction American society is being driven. Simply defined, secular is a term to describe something such as an organization that has a non-religious or non-spiritual nature. It also suggests that a group is controlled by a government rather than a church ("Secular"). Becoming a secular society requires the process of secularization at which religion starts taking the “backseat” in a culture or society (“Secularization”).
There has been some attention on America’s transformation in becoming a more secular society. According to the Pew Research Center, there has been a shift in those who belong to a religion. In fact, there is a great division. Fewer belong to a religious group and those that do, are becoming more involved in their religion. There are three changes that are believed to have been causing this shift. These three changes can be identified as the following: Christians are losing the majority, Christians have lost religious privilege, and Christians are becoming more concretely identified.
Christian faith is no longer the “home-field” of America. Where many could assume a fellow American’s faith was in Christianity, it becomes less likely the case as years pass. In the past, people could share religious views and were only further influenced into Christianity. Now, people raised in non-religious homes are more open and susceptible to other ideas and focus.
Next, many Christian based traditions or practices are not being recognized as once before. Although this seems rather trivial, personal focus, gain, and advantage are increasing as Wednesday nights and Sundays are no longer isolated for religious practices. Stores began to open on the Lord’s day and personal events began to take place on Wednesday nights that were often reserved for prayer and worship.
Finally, the Christian faith is more defined. When mentioning the faith is more defined, I am suggesting that one no longer classifies as a Christian based off of what one said they believed, but now it has shifted to more of a measure of involvement. Those that do not belong to a church or choose to worship at home are less involved with those that are highly involved causing a greater margin between the two. As time and trend continue, se.

Racial disparities in health persist despite advances in medicine and technology. Minorities experience higher rates of illness and death than whites across many health conditions. Socioeconomic status, which is strongly linked to race, is a major determinant of health. Improving living conditions, education levels, income, and neighborhoods could help reduce health inequalities by making healthy choices easier and alleviating stress. Comprehensive social and economic policies are needed across all sectors to address fundamental causes of poor health and disparities.
Voters are concerned about the current food system and want changes to make healthy food more affordable and accessible. They support limiting subsidies to large farms and providing incentives for sustainable farming. Messaging framing the goal of the food system as health rather than profit finds widespread agreement across all voter groups. A national survey of 1,000 voters was conducted to understand these views.
A new post-election survey finds perceptions of President Obama’s religious beliefs, potential conflicts between those identifying with the Tea Party and white evangelicals, and attitudes about Islam are emerging religious issues that promise to shape the 2012 elections in new ways. The 2010 post-election American Values Survey was conducted by Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in cooperation with The Brookings Institution.
This document summarizes a book that argues religious values can help advance the debate over health care reform in the United States. The book is based on the author's interviews with over 100 people working in religious health care organizations and interfaith coalitions. It explores how religious frameworks of responsibility, justice and community shape discussions of health policy issues. While religious arguments are often polarizing, the author believes they can move discussions beyond partisan rhetoric by addressing the deeper moral visions motivating different positions in the debate. The book also examines how religious health care providers currently influence the U.S. health system and how their values could further shape reform policies.
1) The document examines why high religiosity in the US correlates with income inequality and lack of support for redistribution policies. It considers 3 hypotheses for why religious individuals oppose redistribution.
2) The most probable hypothesis is that religion provides comfort during hard times, increasing charitable donations but not political will to implement redistribution policies that could permanently correct inequality.
3) A rise in the non-religious population may increase support for redistribution over time, but religious individuals currently make up most of the population and oppose such policies, maintaining the status quo of unequal wealth distribution.
The document discusses religious views on marriage and divorce from several perspectives. It outlines views from Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Protestantism, Judaism, and realities regarding the influence of religion on divorce rates. Catholicism sees marriage as a sacred bond intended for procreation that cannot be dissolved. Eastern Orthodoxy also views marriage as a sacred mystery. Protestantism emphasizes marriage as demonstrating God's love while allowing for divorce and remarriage. Judaism focuses on the relationship between husband and wife to fulfill spiritual and practical obligations, and allows divorce through a formal process of granting a "get" document. In reality, while religion influences behaviors, differences in religious affiliation may not necessarily lead to differences in rates of single parenthood or divorce
The document summarizes the results of a survey of 1,038 American women who have had an abortion. Some key findings:
- 36% of women attended a Christian church monthly or more at the time of their first abortion.
- Women expected most typical reactions from churches to be judgmental or condemning.
- Women were most likely to discuss their abortion decision with the baby's father or a medical professional.
- 76% said local churches had no influence on their decision.
- 70% of respondents identified as Christian, and over half currently attend church weekly or more.
For this discussion, you will use a census website that posts infoShainaBoling829
For this discussion, you will use a census website that posts information on variables observed in the city where you live. Here is the website address. https://www.census.gov/acs/www/data/data-tables-and-tools/data-profiles/2017/ (Links to an external site.)
(Links to an external site.)After you open the website, you can enter the name of your state on the left at the bottom and the name of your city on the right of the landing page. You will see links to 4 sets of information on your area: social, education, housing, and demographic. You will be assessing the change in one variable you select for two different years. For example, data from the entire United States could be used to compare the percentage of women never married for the years 2010 and 2017.
Once you have selected your variable and obtained the information, answer the following questions:
· Was there a difference in the values of your variable?
· How would you write the null hypothesis if you wanted to test the differences statistically?
· Does the difference appear to be a significant one? How would you substantiate that?
· Is the difference important?
· What are the consequences of the change in your values for your community? For example, a significant increase in the number of women never married could affect the birth rate. It could also mean more women are attending college and becoming self-sufficient.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

To vote either for or against a man because of his creed is to impose upon him a religious test and is a clear violation of the spirit of the Constitution.” --President Teddy Roosevelt, October 12 th 1915, addressing the Knights of Columbus in New York
