What \u201cevidence\u201d do you have to support your point of view?<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">2. What two factors do you think shape increases or decreases in religions believed in or practiced in any part of the world including the U.S.?<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">3.What is \u201cmagic\u201d? How would you define it? Do you believe in magic? Does rational thought \u201creplace\u201d magical thinking? Or can do these types of thinking serve different needs, situations, circumstances? Can\/ does magical thinking, religious belief or spirituality co-exist in a rational world? Give \u201cexamples\u201d to support your point of view.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">4. Do you think that people of an historically Christian nation such as the U.S. view people who are members of other world religions as cult members? (EG; Buddhism, Hinduism, Sufism, Islam)? If so, how so? If not, why not? Do you think that people of different beliefs are embraced and supported in contemporary western societies, or discriminated against? Can you provide any examples to support your point of view?<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">5. According to a recent PEW Survey on religion in the US population , 13 million people identified as \u201cnones\u201d that is, atheists or agnostics and , 33 million identify with no particular religion, but even though religiously unaffiliated the majority consider themselves religious or spiritual in other ways. What sense do you make of this?<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">6. While many modern nations pride themselves on separation of church and state, are they entirely separate, or can you identify ways that church and state \u201cinteract\u201d?<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">7. Does religion play any role in current Republican or Democratic political debates?<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">8. An article in the\u00a0<i style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Philadelphia Inquirer<\/i>\u00a0(April 12,2011) discusses how France is enforcing a ban on veils saying that \u201cwomen can bear their breast in Cannes but cannot cover their faces on the Champ-Elysees.\u201d The law states that women can be fined $215 or attendance at special citizenship classes. In 2009, then president of France, Nicholas Sarkozy declared that the burqa was &#8220;not welcome in France. &#8220;While France is a traditionally Catholic country, today it sees itself as \u201cproudly secular.\u201d Do you see such rules and laws as a conservative, necessary approach to maintaining security, or a matter of discrimination against freedom of religion, or a violation of a human right, or something different? Explain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">9. Why do you think there is so much discussion regarding matters of Islamic dress for Muslim women? Can you think of any other examples where women dress with conservative dress or cover their heads and it is not a matter of global discussion or debate, or where they garner a different social attitude or response?<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; font-size: unset;\">10. In recent years, the government of Switzerland has voted on a popular initiative on banning the construction of minarets in the country (Do you think this is similar\/dissimilar to matters of material culture in France noted in question 8?).
