Ziggurats were religious temples in ancient Mesopotamia dedicated to their gods, serving as a physical link between humans and the divine. Similarly, religious buildings today serve as places of worship and connection with the divine. However, modern religious practices are more diverse and personalized compared to the centralized and state-controlled religious ceremonies associated with ziggurats.

How are churches and ziggurats the same?

Both churches and ziggurats are religious structures used for worship and ceremonies.

Does religion still impact law in America today?

The American constitution (which is the backbone of American government) was built on the truths that there is a God and that He is holy and has given man a set of natural laws that should be followed. His natural laws are much different from the natural law that is taught in public schools today. Today, people are desperately trying to build laws without the influence of God (religion), but you really can't without the eventual downfall of your nation. So...the answer to this question is yes and no at the same time.

Why is Serb religion so extremist?

The same could be asked of any other nonsecular country. Even then, it assumes that everyone in that country is of the same religion; no country is completely and only of one faith. The reason why it is extremist is simply because it is religion.


Why should everyone belong to the same religion?

There are a couple of reasons. At the time, the Catholic Church was the most powerful entity in the world. Most nations strove to get on their good side. Clashing with the church or religion only brought conflict, especially if a majority of your population practices that religion. Another is unity. Throughout history, different religions have always conflicted with each other. They tend to start wars. Having only one religion would prevent this. Of course, it is impossible to do so, and usually causes more problems than there were to begin with.

Is a ziggurat still used today?

Yes, ziggurats are still used today but they are not called the same thing. Since ziggurats are like temples/worships for God, what comes to my mind are churches. We go to church for special learning's of God's life, and for praying, and to talk to God. Hope this helped(:
