| | 20th WCP: Gandhi and Comparative Religion |
| | Gandhi's religion was a federation of different religious creeds, theological schools and sectarian faiths that have survived in India from ancient times. | | | The prophets and seers of different religions have brought to mankind the consciousness of the unity underlying the whole universe and a deep sense of brotherhood of man. Gandhi therefore felt a need of the comparative study of religions to pave the way for unity and brotherhood amongst the followers of different religions. | | | Religion and spirituality are firmly rooted in the minds of the Indian people. |

| | Comparative Religion - Course Descriptions |
| | Whereas a major focus of the systematic study of religion is upon religious traditions, or aspects of them, it is important that attention also be paid to the questions raised by the various contexts in which religion occurs as well as to questions raised by the methods developed in studying religion in such contexts. | | | An examination of the place of religion in human experience with special attention to the nature of religious language, the role and structure of religious concepts, the relation between religion and theology, and the logic of religious symbols. | | | An introduction to the study of religion intended to be universal in scope, theoretical and scientific in intent, and humanistic in orientation, of the nature and history of religion wherever it may be found, whatever its context, no matter what its forms, and attempting to raise whatever questions are necessary to illuminate its character. |

| | Reflecting their Islamic roots, they observe daily prayers and the reading of sacred texts; a month of fast; pilgrimage to Haifa, Israel, where the religion's relics are preserved; and abstinence from alcohol. | | | Unificationists believe in "reconciling the internal truth pursued by religion with the external truth pursued by science." They promote anti-Communism, family values, and the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Hebrew prophets. | | | Where they depart from traditional Christianity is in their acceptance of the Divine Principle as a companion to the Bible and in their assertion that founder Rev. Sun Myung Moon is Lord of the Second Advent, that with his wife (together the "True Parents"), Original Sin is conquered through special blessings. |

| | Major Religions Ranked by Size |
| | From an academic, comparative religions viewpoint, there is no basis for "prescribing" whether it is better for a religion to be highly unified, cohesive, monolithic, and lacking in internal religious diversity, or whether it is better to be fragmented, schismatic, diverse, multifaceted and abounding in variations on the same theme. | | | But "Chinese traditional religion" is meant to categorize the common religion of the majority Chinese culture: a combination of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, as well as the traditional non-scriptural/local practices and beliefs. | | | In comparative religion texts Confucianism, Taoism and Chinese Buddhism are sometimes addressed in three separate chapters, and sometimes treated in one chapter as "Chinese religion." Even today there are very valid reasons for distinguishing Taoism from Confucianism, and distinguishing both from Chinese Buddhism and non-scriptural Chinese folk religion. |

| | Originally, comparative religion was freely used to buttress theologians in their nineteenth century debate against the encroachments of science and Enlightenment on their authority. | | | Comparative religion is better protected from sheer fantasy when it concentrates on relating religious ideas to succession to office, family inheritance, marriage practices, and protocols for war and peacemaking. | | | Religions must be measured by the religious standard: experience of the eternal. |

| | Comparative Religion |
| | Such a religion as Theravada Buddhism, in fact, presents a strong argument against crude forms of comparative religion because of its rejection of the importance of belief in God and denial of the existence of an individual self. | | | Although it is possible to trace the origin of comparative religion to the sixth century Greek thinker Xenophanes, who noted that different peoples tend to depict God in their own image, it was not until the nineteenth century that the study of comparative religion began in earnest. | | | In its crudest form comparative religion makes the assumption that all religions are essentially one. |

| | The comparative analysis presented here is focused on Christianity and the major Eastern religions, especially Hinduism and Buddhism, because they play a major role in defining today's world spirituality. | | | Therefore the other option is that world religions are not pieces of the same puzzle (parts of the same spiritual "elephant") or alternative paths to the same goal. | | | The discussions, arguments and debates in comparative religion did not start recently and will certainly not stop until the end of the world, the time when the Truth will reveal itself in fullness. |

| | The traditional Muslim understanding, based on an authentic prophetic utterance, is that their religion is operative on three levels: submission (islam), faith (iman), and sincerity (ihsan). | | | The irony is that both of these approaches adhere to a "Do-It-Yourself" and "Pick-and-Choose" approach to the religious texts of Islam which casts aside over 1,400 years of understanding and interpretation by remarkable and rightly-guided Muslim scholars. | | | Other than that, we welcome any questions that have to do with promoting a proper understanding of Islamic beliefs and practices, clarifying misconceptions about Islam, rebuttals to attacks on Islam or issues of comparative religion as relating to Islam. |
