Yes, you can baptize your child according to your faith tradition.
No. Faith is about believing, not about thinking.
A:As a matter of definition, faith does not 'demand' - faith 'is'. You have faith, or you do not. Those who expect you to have faith in something may demand many things of you. For example, they may demand that you suspend rational thinking, because if you think rationally you can never have the faith they insist you should have. They may demand blind obedience, but this is not faith making those demands, nor is it centuries of church tradition: it is an expectation placed on you by people in positions of power.
The Enlightenment movement emphasized reason over faith or tradition. It promoted the use of scientific reasoning and empirical evidence to understand the world, challenging religious beliefs and traditional authority. This shift towards rational thinking had a significant impact on fields such as philosophy, science, and politics.
During the age of enlightenment people believed that what was a better guide than faith or tradition
Secular wisdom refers to practical knowledge, insights, and principles that are derived from observation, logic, and human experience rather than from religious or spiritual beliefs. It is a way of understanding the world and making decisions based on reason, evidence, and critical thinking rather than relying solely on faith or tradition.
Scientific thinking relies on evidence, reason, and the scientific method to understand the natural world, while religious thinking is often faith-based and relies on beliefs, teachings, and traditions to derive knowledge about the world and our place in it. Scientific thinking is testable and subject to revision based on new evidence, whereas religious thinking is often based on interpretation of sacred texts and authority figures.
A new way of thinking that has been used to explore questions of faith is through the integration of science and religion. By applying scientific methods and principles to religious beliefs, individuals can seek to reconcile any perceived conflicts between faith and reason and gain a deeper understanding of spirituality. This approach promotes critical thinking, evidence-based inquiry, and open-mindedness in exploring theological concepts.
