This question is taken from God: A Very Short Introduction, Chapter 6. Religious belief in India often starts in one locale and then migrates to a new area where it changes.

This is especially true in Hinduism which adapted many variations into family trees of traditions. This process is known by different names, select all that apply.

This question is taken from Religion, Ch3. When reading a newspaper, you read the front page, the sports page, and the comics with different expectations and employ different methods of interpretation and yet in each case, you would expect that you understand the meaning conveyed. For the front page you would expect to bring to bear current events and political expectations, the sports page would require a completely different background to make sense of it, while the comics might entail either background while engaging humor not normally to be taken seriously like the other two genres. Non of this applies to Religious scriptures even if they use diverse literary forms (genres like hymns, poetry, or narrative) they are interpreted by strict well known methods applied evenly to all passages ensuring uniform and universal interpretation that does not vary in time or place because they are holy and inspired.

They kept as closely as they could to what God had commanded. They refused, for example, to accept the speculation that there was no after-life because there was a tradition of after-life in the books of Moses (Torah). (T/F)

False

This question is taken from Tilley, Chapter 2 Defining Faith. Tilley suggests that the object of one's faith may be personal or impersonal, but identifying the one or more things that are the actual objects of our faith can be quite difficult. He writes, the proper object of faith is a god or gods, the irreducible sources(s) of meaning and center(s) of value in one's life. We do not always recognize our actual god or gods. However, we can come to recognize our god or gods when we consider the questions about what gives meaning and value to our lives. He suggests going through a process of asking two questions to clarify the one or more irreducible energizing source(s) of meaning and center(s) of value in one's life, and to keep asking them until we start to get to axiomatic answers like "just because", once there we have begun to reveal our actual god or gods. Match the two questions on the left with what they help one to identify on the right as one seeks to understand what are the actual god or gods one values. For what would one die?: For what does one live?:

For what would one die?: identifies what one would give their life for For what does one live?: identifies what one gives their life to

Muslims make up the second largest segment with just under 25%. Hindus and Buddhists make up the top four, with about 15% and 7% respectively. The rest are an array of indigenous and folk religion (6%) and Jews (~0.2%) and all the rest of the religions (<1.0%). This suggests that of the world population (30+25+15+7+6+1.2=?) about 84% are religious and so about 16% are not religious. Consequently, the best evidence available today suggests that 8 or more in 10 people identify with a religious group. (T/F)

This question is taken from Deresiewicz, Solitude and Leadership.

This question is taken from God, Ch2. Many believe that educated people have no need of belief in a god because there is no remaining pragmatic value for such a belief in the interpretation or comprehension of nature. This 'god of the gaps' is not unknown, as many past explanations of why things happened relied on the supernatural; however, belief in god for many centers now rather in explaining why there is something rather than nothing, that is, belief in the divine is used to explain being and existence, not how things work, for that we turn to science.

This question is taken from the video First Civilizations, Ep 1, Religion. In early civilizations individuals began living in increasingly large and anonymous groups. That's where the priesthood class comes in, they provide those things that tell people this is something that we all share and believe in. That's why we're part of a community.
