I believe that you should try to understand as much about others and their religion/culture as much as possible.

Why were religions and philosophies developed and what use are they?

For some reason people have the need to understand and explain everything, so when attempting to understand and explain things, especially in times where virtually nothing was understood at a scientific level, people would often make up crap that seemed to fit the situation and add in a splash of creativity. eventually they actually believed it. Philosophy is similar, it is when you analyze something and try to understand it and think of it in different perspectives. Philosophies were created for the purpose of bettering others, but religion, though is perceived as a similar tool, is actually a devise that long ago douchbags came up with to take power over, enslave, and torture as many people as possible. Religion doesn't really do anything but give justification to virtually any action whether it be fair or not. Philosophy is a class where amoral college kids go to try and feel better about themselves. These things are perfect for borderline sociopaths and power hungry, war mongering a-holes.

What are the critical issues in the study of religion?

There is a great diversity of opinion on religious matters, and chances are, every religious authority, or every religious person to whom you ask this question would give you a different answer. Some people are interested in observing the common elements that are found in many or all religions, some are interested rather in the unique aspects of a particular religion, some are interested in tracing the historical process by which religions come into existence and develop into well established parts of human society, some are interested in very theoretical issues of theology, such as, will we be re-united with our pets in heaven, etc. There is a very vigorous debate about whether God does or does not exist, or whether it is even meaningful to ask the question about whether God exists, or whether we would even recognize Him if we met Him on the bus. I tend to think that the most critical issue in religion today, in the age of terrorism, is how people of different religions can live in the same world without killing each other. Your mileage may vary.Answer:Another issue, which is probably resolved unconsciously by the choice of study course, is whether to study religion as a broad concept or whether to study a particular religion, such as Christianity.A further issue is motivation. Are you studying a religion in order understand the faith more fully, to be a better follower of that religion, or perhaps hoping to become a priest or pastor? These are issues that will affect not only the choice of topics but also the degree to which you pursue these studies. This is also critical in the choice of college at which to study, as this should be compatible with your objectives.Of course, if you are studying comparative religion at high school, one issue is to put aside, for the moment, your personal religious beliefs, so that you can better understand what followers of other religions believe. Or if you are studying scripture at a religious school or at Sunday school, this is even easier, as you can ask questions and try to learn the assigned scriptures.


What religions encourage people to be kind to one another?

There are a few religions that do this; Christianity Judaism Pantheism New Age Atheism These religions are all taught to not have prejudice or hate against any one person/ other religion. Christianity teaches that you must love your neighbor as you would love yourself and so does Judaism. Pantheism teaches that the world is God and is connected meaning that we must take care of everything and everyone. New Age is just an evolved form of Pantheism which believes that the world is connected and everyone to it, but the earth is just earth, not God. I personally believe that in Atheism, they follow Christian morals, but do not believe in God, so it is an evolved form of Christianity. (By the way, when I say evolved, I am saying that it derived from it, not necessarily that one is better than the other. My personal opinion is that Christianity is the kindest, but unfortunately, many hypocrites derive from the religion as well just like any other religion. Many people do their best to follow God's instructions on morality)
