| | Islam: A Global civilization |
| | The very name of the religion, ALISLAM in Arabic, means at once submission and peace, for it is in submitting to God's Will that human beings gain peace in their lives in this world and in the hereafter. | | | Essentially a religion of the book, Islam sees all authentic religions as being associated with a scripture. | | | The religion of Islam was itself responsible not only for the creation of a world civilization in which people of many different ethnic backgrounds participated, but it played a central role in developing intellectual and cultural life on a scale not seen before. |

| | 20th WCP: Gandhi and Comparative Religion |
| | In their true aspects all religions call for peace and brotherhood amongst man. The great religions of the world should strive, according to Gandhi, in promoting a life of self control, sacrifice, harmony, peace and understanding amongst its followers so as to create a heaven on earth. | | | 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. |

| | Islam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Islām is described as a dīn, meaning "way of life" and/or "religion." Etymologically, it is derived from the same root as, for example, Salām meaning "peace" (also a common salutation). | | | The claim of the adherents of the Bahá'í Faith that it represents an independent religion was upheld by the Muslim ecclesiastical courts in Egypt during the 1920s. | | | As of January 1926, their final ruling on the matter of the origins of the Bahá'í Faith and its relationship to Islam was that the Bahá'í Faith was neither a sect of Islam, nor a religion based on Islam, but a clearly defined, independently founded faith. |

| | The liberal version of American civil religion, it should be noted, taps into a relatively deep reservoir of sentiment in the popular culture about the desirability of peace and justice. | | | It was "the religion of the republic," a vague but complex public myth whose symbolism was rooted explicitly in the biblical tradition-derivative of all biblical faiths but embodying none in particular-that served to legitimate national life. | | | We are, our civil religion assures us, a God-fearing people, the Champions of religions liberty, and in many ways a nation that God has chosen to carry out a special mission in the world. |

| | Like their cousins in the other "peace churches," the Moravians have been the subject of many fine monographs, but these books often struggle to make the denominations relevant to the history of religion in this country. | | | But the injunction to live as a Christian community was sorely tested when the Moravians began to own slaves, when they began to adopt the religious practices of outside groups, and when they began to change their interpretation of "heart religion." In dealing with this aspect of the promise, Rohrer needs to press harder. | | | The Moravians evangelized without regard to ethnicity and created a community in which religion, not national background, was "the most important glue in both creating a community and holding it together" (p. |

| | Many atheists believe that, because of this, religion is incompatable with world peace, freedom, civil rights, equality, and good government. | | | Many members of organized religion, of course, see no significant difference between the two terms, because they see spirituality at the heart of their religion, and see the church organization as a means of preserving that spirituality. | | | Religions of pre-industrial peoples, or cultures in development to industrial conditions, are similarly observed by the anthropology of religion. |
