Comparing Religion Comparing Religion Question The newer beliefs are different from the older beliefs in terms of their secondary aspects. The newer religions allow for a bigger room for interpretation so as the world of science and that of contemporary culture fit. The older religions, on the other hand, do not necessarily allow any room for neither science nor today’s culture. A perfect example for the difference between these religions could be that while the bible condemns homosexuality with the strongest terms, newer religions and denominations do not, instead, they support the practice or fail to openly condemn it.
In addition, the older religion clearly sets forth the controversy between science and religion in terms of creation and evolution. Many of today’s newer religions could be comparable to older regions as well. They both adhere to the same code of morality. Both also compliment science just like science compliments religion (Brill, 2012).Question 2The religious pluralism and interfaith movements would have an excellent impact not only on organized religion, but also on the community in the struggle to eradicate and curtail the problem of fundamentalism and the quest for religious dominance.
The religion of pluralism and interfaith would lead into a world of peace and mutual understanding. The movements created by religious pluralism and interfaith would result into a common goal such as antiwar, antipoverty and increased social justice for all humanity. On the contrary, religious pluralism and interfaith would lead to increased anti-Christ in the future. This would probably lead to wars in the world. For instance, the negative effect of this can be drawn from the attacks carried out around the world by Jihadists (Brill, 2012).
